When You Were Young Meaning

[[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
He doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined
When you were young

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
We’re burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane that started turning
When you were young
When you were young
, [Interlude]
And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live
When you were young

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
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)
When you were young
, [Outro]
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]
