When You Were Young Lyrics - The Killers

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 gentlemen 

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 

Photos 

But you can dip your feet 

Every once in a little while 

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 gentlemen 

Like you imagined when you were young 

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
