When You Were Young (The Killers cover) Lyrics
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 gentleman
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
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 gentleman
Like you imagined when you were young
(He talks like a gentlemen, like you imagined when)
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
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now ... here he comes!
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined when you were young
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
On the back of a hurricane that started turning
When you were young
When you were young
and see the place where you used to live
When you were young
You don't have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a little while
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now here he comes
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined when you were young
(He talks like a gentlemen, like you imagined when)
When you were young
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But more than you'll ever know

I saw this at taste of chaos =)

They did a cover of this?? this is sweet i need to listen to it

he did it amazing. rofl. as terrible as this may sound, i think he does it better than brenden flowers(or whatever). adams got a better voice(my opinIon).

its brandon flowers. and yes this version does seem a bit better. lol adam's voice is the best!

not 'better', adam and brandon's voices are completely different so you can't really compare, they just approach it differently.

i saw them do this live, it was amazing : ) i love adam.

haha and what's awesome is when they cover Bones! =D
