When You Were Young Lyrics - Singles - Noisettes

La, la, la, la, la 

La, la, la, la, la 

You sit there in your heartache 

Waiting on some beautiful girl 

To save you from your old ways 

You pray for forgiveness 

'Cause watch out, here she comes 

Don't look a thing like Jesus 

But I talk like a gentle soul 

Like you imagined 

When you were young 

Can we climb this mountain? 

I don't know 

Higher now than ever before 

And I know we can make it if we take it slow 

Let's take it easy and watch it grow 

We're burning down the highway skyline 

On the back of a hurricane 

That started turning 

When you were young 

Started turning 

When you were young 

And sometimes you close your eyes 

And see the place that you used to live 

When you were young 

Back when you were young 

They say the devil's water 

It ain't so sweet 

Don't have to drink it right now 

But you can go ahead and dip your feet 

Every once in a while, hey 

Every once in a while 

Woo 

You sit there in your heartache 

Waiting on some beautiful girl to 

Save you from your old bad ways 

Pray for forgiveness, boy 

Watch out, here I come 

And I don't look a thing like she does 

But I talk like a gentle soul 

More than you ever know 

I never look a thing like she does 

But I talk like a gentle soul 

More than you'll ever know 

You were young 

Like when you were young now 

Said I'll never look a thing like she does 

But I talk like a gentle soul 

More than you'll ever know
