When You Were Young (Piano Version) Lyrics

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 gentleman
like you imagined when you were young
-
Can we climb this mountain, I don't know
higher now than ever before
I know that we can make it if we take it slow
let's take it easy, easy now watch you go
we're burning down the highway skyline
in the back of a hurricane
it 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
-
You 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
just like a gentleman like you imagined
when you were young
-
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus (x2)
And more than you'll ever know
