"When You Were Young" lyrics
(originally by The Killers)
You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
Save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now, here he comes
Doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen
Like you imagined when you were young
Can we climb this mountain?
I don't know
It's higher now than ever before
I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy
Easy now, watch it go
Burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane, started turning
When you were young
When you were young
And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live
When you were young
They say the devil's water, it ain't so sweet
You don't have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a while
You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
Save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now, here he comes
Doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined when you were young
When you were young
When you were young
(Doesn't look a thing like Jesus
Talks like a gentleman, like you imagined)
When you were young
(Doesn't look a thing like Jesus
Talks like a gentleman)
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
Save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now, here he comes
Doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen
Like you imagined when you were young
Can we climb this mountain?
I don't know
It's higher now than ever before
I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy
Easy now, watch it go
Burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane, started turning
When you were young
When you were young
And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live
When you were young
They say the devil's water, it ain't so sweet
You don't have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a while
You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
Save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now, here he comes
Doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined when you were young
When you were young
When you were young
(Doesn't look a thing like Jesus
Talks like a gentleman, like you imagined)
When you were young
(Doesn't look a thing like Jesus
Talks like a gentleman)
