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 |

The "he doesn't look a thing like Jesus" means to me that he's a bad boy, he looks anything but innocent and good news for her but he talks good so she believes him  that's just my interpretation | |

If we aren't fulfilled by Jesus, the one who has supposedly saved us from our sins, then how could an ordinary human guy that happens to be good-looking save you? If the Bible is true, I think the song is saying that the potential Prince Charming you are waiting for isn't going to satisfy you because he needs Jesus' love and forgiveness as much as you do...we all do. | |

This is just how I interpret the beginning, but I think that line means he doesn't look like a typical savior-type character; however, he is there for her nonetheless.

Paunch? I'm sorry, but that word in that sentence does not mix, nor does it make sense. Bunch, perhaps? Unless there is a phrase or definition I'm not aware of. D8
