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

You finally fade away
Your face it fades of grace
You know the war I rage
But you take the holy way

I took away from you
The queens you never drew
The heart you hold's a waste
The words that make you say

Hey, where ya going
Whatcha doing
You're leaving...

When you were young
You fell right into love
When you were young
And no one stopped you

When you were young
You fell right into love
When you were young
And no one stopped you

You finally fade away
Your face it fades of grace
You fought the war I waged
Correct and stolen hate

I'll take away from you
The things you never knew
The heart you hold's a waste
Her words don't mean a thing

Hey, where ya going
Whatcha doing
You're leaving

When you were young
You fell right into love
When you were young
And no one stopped you

When you were young
You fell right into love
When you were young
And no one stopped you

(I will...I will stop you)

When you were young
You fell right into love
When you were young
And no one stopped you

When you were young
You fell right into love
When you were young
And no one stopped you

Oh, when you were young
You fell right into love
When you were young
And no one stopped you

Oh, when you were young
You fell right into love
When you were young
And no one stopped you

15 months and they would
Drag you from your throne
But you ain't got no place to go
You're the bad one from the day you were born
You can run
I dont think that you can hide

Have you found the knife and cigarettes inside of your locker with your books?
Smoking weed with Joe and Rock inside his house
You can run
I don't think that you can hide

(Chorus)
Mom wants you to come back home
She keeps crying when I call her on the phone
Won't you give this thing a chance?
You are not what you were
When you were young
You are not what you were
When you were young

I was fucked up when you needed me the most
Trying to starve myself to death
I still feel like I did something always wrong
You can run
I don't think that you can hide

(Chorus)
Mom wants you to come back home
She keeps crying when I call her on the phone
Won't you give this things a chance?
Cause you were not what you were
When you were young

You were not what you were
When you were young

You Sit There In Your, Heartache
Waitin' On Some Beautiful Boy To
To Save You From Your Old Ways
You Play Forgiveness
Watch Him 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 Turnin' 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
Waitin' On Some Beautiful Boy To
To Save You From Your Old Ways
You Play Forgiveness
Watch Him 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

[Talks Like A Gentleman
Like You Imagined When You]
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.
