When You Were Young 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 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
(He talks like a gentlemen, like you imagined when)
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

I'm Jenny in case you couldn't tell by reading my username... (??)... I don't know why you're hiding, but anyway......

I LOVE THE KILLERS! I like the song, "When You Were Young" but I prefer "Glamorous Indie Rock & Roll" over anything else I've heard from them! Besides, as much as I love, LOVE this song- the guy in the music video makes me gag! *GAG!* lol

Much love,
Jenny

WELL...... Now on with other reviews for The Killers song!

*Hunts down Jenny with a pissed off Gabe as a body guard* LMAO. WELL THEN WHY DO YOU WANT THE DECEMBERUNDERGROUND CD? HMMMM?

Jenny Valentine wrote on Sep 15, 2006 on 05:59
*Jenny finds MM and dumps her in a pile of trash and locks her in a garbage dump* THEN WHY'D YOU SAY IT, SMART ONE? jK!!!!!!! I feel the same way about AFI that you do about The Killers.... even? lmao
Much love,
Jenny

It's a pretty good song but (I'm afraid to say this in fear of Jenny) not my style *runs and hides from Jenny*.

I love this song!!!, we'll actually I love The Killers, I liked them since somebody told me... came out.
Also I think the music video is really cool because its original not the same stuff we see everyday

I love the song, i dont really know much about the killers but i just fell in love with the song when i heard it on radio about a week ago. they're awesome!

Ian- I agree with you... this is (as you put it) "instantly recogniseable"!

The first time I heard this on the radio, they didn't give the artist's name or song title, but I knew it was the killers!...Just by his voice and the type of music being played. I don't think there has been a song by them that I haven't liked so far! lol

devilsgrin wrote on Sep 07, 2006 on 03:56
i dunno not personall favourite but it deserves its place yea interesting video LoL!

Jenny Valentine wrote on Sep 07, 2006 on 03:26
YES!!!! Finally this song is on the top 10! What took so long huh?!! Now... only if it can make it to number one and bump off the overly-played JT song...

I liked their perfomance at the VMAs too! I can't wait until they come to Seattle for the concert... hopefully I can go!! The music video is interesting... but it sheds light on what the song is about. This is an awesome song, I love it! I LOVE THE KILLERS! though... I'm not to big on that facial hair they decided to let grow, lol!
Much, MUCH love to all you Killer fans out there,
Jenny

I actually loved their performance at the VMA's. It was one of their better ones.

Alissa wrote on Aug 31, 2006 on 20:35
It's Great!

MissMurder4391 wrote on Aug 29, 2006 on 03:30
The music video for this is interesting/

Ian wrote on Aug 20, 2006 on 17:51
Instantly recogniseable as a Killers song its nice to see they haven't lost anything, awesome stuff.

Jenny Valentine wrote on Aug 07, 2006 on 23:49
With the "typical Killers sound" (as I like to call it), this is just another enjoyable song from The Killers. Though, I have to say, Brandon's voice does seem to be a bit strained. But none-the-less, I absolutely love this song, as I do the lyrics!
