The Killers "When you were young" lyrics

When you were young

You sit there in your heartacheWaiting on some beautiful boy toTo save you from your old waysYou play forgivenessWatch it nowHere he comes

He doesnt look a thing like JesusBut he talks like a gentlemanLike you imaginedWhen you were young

Can we climb this mountainI dont knowHigher now than ever beforeI know we can make it if we take it slowLet's take it easyEasy nowWatch it go

We're burning down the highway skylineOn the back of a hurricaneThat started turningWhen you were youngWhen you were young

And sometimes you close your eyesAnd see the place where you used to liveWhen you were young

They say the devil's waterIt ain't so sweetYou dont have to drink right nowBut you can dip your feetEvery once in a little while

You sit there in your heartacheWaiting on some beautiful boy toTo save you from your old waysYou play forgivenessWatch it nowHere he comes

He doesnt look a thing like JesusBut he talks like a gentlemanLike you imaginedWhen you were young(talks like a gentleman)(like you imagined)When you were young

I said he doesnt look a thing like JesusHe doesnt look a thing like JesusBut more than you'll ever know
