When You Were Young (Calvin Harris Remix) 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
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen
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
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]
And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live
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
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen
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
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]
And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live
When you were young
[Solo]
[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
[Solo]
[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
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen
Like you imagined
When you were young
[Outro]
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
[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
[Solo]
[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
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentlemen
Like you imagined
When you were young
[Outro]
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
About
Genius Annotation
Frontman Brandon Flowers stated that he doesn’t know a lot about remixers but he knew that Calvin Harris was a heavy-hitter.
This is also the track which Calvin chose to work on and remix.
Brandon in an interview with NME:
I don’t know much about remixers, but I know Calvin is one of the heavy-hitters, and he chose this song to remix. It’s strange to meet these people who you read about or you see on billboards, and they tell you about the impact that ‘Hot Fuss’ or ‘Sam’s Town’ had on them, and he was a big fan of those records.
