The KillersWhen you were Young

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 

He 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 
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 

We're burning down the highway skyline 
On the back of a hurricane that 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 little 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 

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus 
But he talks like a gentlemen 
Like you imagined when you were young 
When you were young 

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
