When You Were Young

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You sit there in your heartache Waiting on some beautiful boy to To save you from your old ways You play forgiveness; watch it now, here he comes [Chorus 1] He doesn't look a thing like Jesus But he talks like a gentleman Like you imagined When you were young [Verse 2] Can we climb this mountain? I don't know 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 [Chorus 2] We're burning down the highway skyline On the back of a hurricane that started turnin' When you were young When you were young [Interlude] And sometimes you close your eyes And see the place where you used to live When you were young [Bridge] 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 little while [Verse 1] You sit there in your heartache Waiting on some beautiful boy to To save you from your old ways You play forgiveness; watch it now, here he comes [Chorus 1] He doesn't look a thing like Jesus But he talks like a gentleman Like you imagined When you were young (Talks like a gentleman Like you imagined when) When you were young [Outro] I said he doesn't look a thing like Jesus He doesn't look a thing like Jesus But more than you'll ever know
