When You Were Young

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

[Interlude]

And sometimes you close your eyes

And see the place where you used to live

When you were young

[Bridge]

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

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus 1]

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)

When you were young
