When You Were Young

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

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
On the back of a 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

They say 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
He talks like a gentlemen, like you imagined when
When you were young

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


The Killers

Window in the Skies

The shackles are undone
The bullets quit the gun
The heat that’s in the sun
Will keep us when there’s none
The rule has been disproved
The stone it has been moved
The grave is now a groove
All debts are removed

Oh can’t you see what love has done?
Oh can’t you see what love has done?
Oh can’t you see what love has done?
What it’s done to me?

Love makes strange enemies
Makes love where love may please
The soul and its striptease
Hate brought to its knees
The sky over our head
We can reach it from our bed
You let me in your heart
And out of my head, head…

Oh can’t you see what love has done?
Oh can’t you see what love has done?
Oh can’t you see what love has done?
What it’s done to me?

Oh, oh, oh, oh…
Oh, oh, oh, oh…
Please don’t ever let me out of you

I’ve got no shame, oh no, oh no

Oh can’t you see what love has done?
Oh can’t you see?
Oh can’t you see what love has done?
What it’s doing to me?

I know I hurt you and I made you cry
Did everything but murder you and I
But love left a window in the skies
And to love I rhapsodize
To every broken heart
For every heart that cries
Love left a window in the skies
And to love I rhapsodize

Jack's Mannequin - "I'm Ready"

And today was a day just like any other...

I'm on the verge, I'm on the verge,
Unraveling with every word,
With every word you say, make me believe,
That I won't feel your tires on the street,
As I'm finding the words... you're getting away.

I come undone, oh yes, I do!
Just think of all the thoughts wasted on you,
And every word you say, say something sweet,
'Cause all I taste is blood between my teeth,
As I'm finding the words... you're getting away.

Well, I'm ready! I'm ready to drop!
Oh, I'm ready, I'm ready so don't stop!
I'm ready so don't stop! Keep pushing!
I'm ready to fall, oh, I'm ready!
I'm ready so don't call, I'm ready so don't call!

I am aware, I've been misled,
I disconnect my heart, my head,
Don't wanna recognize when things go bad,
The things that you'll accept,
Except that I am finding the words... to say...

I'm ready! I'm ready to drop!
Oh, I'm ready!
I'm ready so don't stop!

I wake up to find it's another
Four aspirin morning and I dive in.
I put on the same clothes I wore yesterday.
When did society decide that we had to change
And wash a t-shirt after every individual use?
If it's not dirty, I'm gonna wear it.
I take the stairs to the car,
And there's fog on the windows.
I need caffeine in my blood stream,
I take caffeine in the blood stream.
I grip the wheel and all at once I realize:
My life has become a boring pop song
And everyone's singing along.

Well, I'm ready! I'm ready to drop!
Oh, I'm ready, I'm ready so don't stop!
I'm ready so don't stop! Keep pushing!
I'm ready to fall, oh, I'm ready!
I'm ready so don't call, I'm ready so don't call!
