What are the lyrics to "When you were young" by The Killers?

Answer 1

When you were young

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy
To to save your 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 gentlemen
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 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 gentlemen
Like you imagined when you were young
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

Answer 2

That's a great song, I love their new sound.
Here are the 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 come

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 save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now- here he come

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
(Talks like a gentleman)
Like you imagined when you were young
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

Answer 3

Is this it:


When You Were Young
Remember how it used to be
Surrounded by all of your friends
In the warmth of the world
And the spark of your smile
Remember the dreams you dreamt when you were wild
Remember the dreams you dreamt when you were wild
Remember how the days dragged on
As you waited for all that's worthwhile
In the lounge of the night
And the depth of the day
Remember the words you meant when you would play
Remember the words you meant when you would play

When you were…
When you were young

Remember how it used to be
Surrounded by all of your friends
In the truth of the moon
And the joy of the sun
Remember the worlds you dreamt when you were young
Remember the worlds you dreamt when you were young

When you were…
When you were young
When you were young

When you were young

Remember how it used to be
Remember how it used to be
Remember how it used to be
When you were young
