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
