When You Were Young

La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful girl
To save you from your old ways
You pray for forgiveness
'Cause watch out, here she comes

Don't look a thing like Jesus
But I talk like a gentle soul
Like you imagined
When you were young

Can we climb this mountain?
I don't know
Higher now than ever before
And I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy and watch it grow

We're burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane
That started turning
When you were young

Started turning
When you were young

And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place that you used to live
When you were young
Back when you were young

They say the devil's water
It ain't so sweet
Don't have to drink it right now
But you can go ahead and dip your feet
Every once in a while, hey

Every once in a while

Woo

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful girl to
Save you from your old bad ways
Pray for forgiveness, boy
Watch out, here I come

And I don't look a thing like she does
But I talk like a gentle soul
More than you ever know

I never look a thing like she does
But I talk like a gentle soul
More than you'll ever know

You were young

Like when you were young now

Said I'll never look a thing like she does
But I talk like a gentle soul
More than you'll ever know
