When you were young lyrics

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 doesnt look a thing like Jesus

But he talks like a gentleman

Like you imagined

When you were young

Can we climb this mountain

I dont 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 dont 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 doesnt look a thing like Jesus

But he talks like a gentleman

Like you imagined

When you were young

(talks like a gentleman)

(like you imagined)

When you were young

I said he doesnt look a thing like Jesus

He doesnt look a thing like Jesus

But more than you'll ever know
