When You Were Young Lyrics
[Verse 1: Alex Goot]
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: Audra Miller & Alex Goot]
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen
Like you imagined
When you were young
[Verse 2: Audra Miller]
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: Audra Miller & Alex Goot]
We're burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane that started turning
When you were young
When you were young
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: Audra Miller & Alex Goot]
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen
Like you imagined
When you were young
[Verse 2: Audra Miller]
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: Audra Miller & Alex Goot]
We're burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane that started turning
When you were young
When you were young
[Interlude: Audra Miller, Audra Miller & Alex Goot]
And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live
When you were young
[Bridge: Audra Miller]
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
[Instrumental Break]
[Reprise: Alex Goot]
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: Audra Miller & Alex Goot]
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
When you were young
And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live
When you were young
[Bridge: Audra Miller]
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
[Instrumental Break]
[Reprise: Alex Goot]
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: Audra Miller & Alex Goot]
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
When you were young
[Outro: Audra Miller, Audra Miller & Alex Goot]
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
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
