Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You sit there in your heartache
Waitin' on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now, he comes
[Verse 2]
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined when you were young
[Verse 3]
Can we climb this mountain? I don't know
Higher now than ever before
Know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy
Easy now, watch it go
[Verse 4]
Burnin' down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane that started turnin'
When you were young
When you were young
[Verse 5]
Sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live
When you were young
When you were young
[Verse 6]
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 7]
You sit there in your heartache
Waitin' on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now, he comes
