You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness, watch him 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
We can make it if we take it slow.
Just take it easy, easy now,
Watch him go!
We're burning down the highway skyline on the
Back of a hurricane that started turning
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 gotta 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 him 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.
When you were young.

No 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.
