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 love this song, as well as all the newer ones. As someone said, this isn't a "flavour of the week". It's a good song. I like the song "Bones" alot, among others..... What's with all the weed?
Haha :)

VERY GOOD!

Every musical sound recorded by the killers has been astonising.... And I would know, I smoke a ton of weed.

Unregistered user weediscoolbeans wrote on Dec 19, 2009 on 03:10
Personally i agree with jenny valentine, still like the song- but i like "read my mind" more. but every musical sound ever recorded by them has been outstanding. weed rocks too :]]]]]

I feel so... wounded right now. Flaming is lame. :|

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

That cuts, Nova. That cuts deep. Don't see how they're losers, what with the hits they have under their belt.

I'm a huge Killers fan--ask anyone that knows me, so believe me when I say I'm highly aware of how often this song is used. The same goes for their song, "All These Things That I've Done," as well as two other from their first album for a time being.

I just think a few of their others are better (in my opinion) and would like to see some attention focused on another song for once is all.

I don't want anyone to take me the wrong way--I still listen to this, and I thought the music video was rather interesting compared to their others when it first came out. (This goes for the song, too. And the lyrics I adore.) My hype for this particular song, however, has died. Currently, my attention is more focused on their upcoming album

Lethalmilkshake wrote on Oct 04, 2008 on 06:25
Jenny, this is a great song, that's why it's still obsessed over. Even today it's used in TV shows and commercials. That's like saying, "Why do people still listen to Guns N' Roses?" Great things don't die.

Jenny Valentine wrote on Sep 22, 2008 on 20:31
=/ Why do people still continue to obsess over this? D: It's from '06, and they've come out with new songs since then. (Sawdust, anyone?) Not to mention their new album is coming out soon
