Noisettes - When You Were Young (Radio One Live Lounge) Lyrics

La, la, la, la, la.
La, la, la, la, la.

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful girl to
Save you from your old ways
You pray for forgiveness
Coz watch out
Here she comes

Don't look a thing like Jesus,
But I talk like a gentle soul,
Like you imagined
When you were young

Can we climb this mountain
I don't know,
Higher now than ever before.
And I know we can make it if we take it slow,
Let's take it easy,
And watch it grow.

We're burning down the highway skyline,
On the back of a hurricane,
That started turnin',
When you were young

Started turnin'
When you were young

And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place that you used to live
When you were young
Back when you were young.

They say the devil's water
It ain't so sweet
Don't have to drink it right now
But you can go ahead and dip your feet
Every once in a while. Hey!

Every once in a while.

Wooooo.

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful girl to
Save you from your old bad ways
Pray for forgiveness, boy.
Watch out
Here I come

And I don't look a thing like she does,
But I talk like a gentle soul,
More than you ever know.

I never look a thing like she does, but I,
Talk like a gentle soul,
More than you'll ever know.

You were young.

Like when you were young, now.

Said I'll never look a thing like she does,
But I, talk like a gentle soul,
More than you'll ever know.
