Lyrics of When You Were Young by The Killers
verse
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
He doesn′t look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen
Like you imagined
When you were young
verse
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
We're burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane that started turning
When you were young
When you were young
bridge
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
verse
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
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen
Like you imagined
When you were young
Talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined
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
Writer(s): Dave Brent Keuning, Mark August Stoermer, Brandon Flowers, Ronnie Vannucci Jr.
