The Killers - When You Were Young - Lyrics

Lyrics for 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 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
(talks like a gentleman)
(like you imagined)
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

0:16 and 1:53 some random demon is trying to talk to us. i tell him "SHUT UP AND ENJOY THE MUSIC!"

[ExXxoticRobo]

Just so we're clear. It says KROQ throughout the song because this is the KROQ version of the song. (Nothing special just sadly fitted advertisement) Now that THAT mystery is solved you can now STFU and listen to some awesome music. (:
