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
Back in the 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
See, 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
Talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined when you were young
He doesn't look a thing like Jesus x2
And more than you'll ever know
