Benjamin Francis Leftwich – When You Were Young
(The Killers cover) 

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

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

Burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane
That started turning when you were young
When you were young

Sometimes you close your eyes and see
The place where you used to live
When you were young

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 save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now, here he comes
