Benjamin Francis Leftwich - When You Were Young Lyrics






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 gentlemen
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

Sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live
When you were young
When you were young

The devil's water, it ain't so sweet
You don't have to drink right now
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

  26. A.... M....

    haha tomandjeddy get out of here with that comment.....true killers fan..ahaha

  27. J.... P....

    feel like this cover gives more emotion than the original.

  28. P.... B....

    BENJAMIN LEFTWICH you have to cover the modest mouse song bankrupt on selling, i feel like you would make it incredible

  29. i.... s....

    THIS IS BEAUTIFUL

  30. H.... ....

    this is acoustic so you cant really compare.

  31. T.... H....

    35 people don't have ears.....

  32. h.... b....

    LATI-FUCKING-TUDE

  33. M.... B....

    This is crazy good!

  34. D.... C....

    A cover is an adaptation of a song you like to your very own style, just to let you know, it is not an imitation of the song... Great work man, check my channel to see my original music, I'm a 16 years old singer & songwriter

  35. T.... P....

    I didn't like it, but that's just me.

  36. K.... ....

    This is music. End of story

  37. L.... �....

    He's done it better.

  38. J.... A....

    God, I love his voice so much. <3

  39. m.... C....

    It's a cover not a replica bitch. Get off your high horse.

  40. E.... ....

    Well maybe he's not trying to "do it like them"...
    It's just a good song that he wanted to play. He's not trying to properly mimic them or anything.

    E.... ....

    I like this version. And that says a lot, because I don't like his voice normally. But it all falls together right in this song.

  41. M.... P....

    I feel you. :)

  42. I.... ....

    I like the covers that people do here on youtube. But they just change the tone of the song too much, and it when it's overdone, it sounds nothing like the original song, and it begins to be kinda hard to listen to. This cover's not bad, it's just not used to what I'm used to when listening to the Killers.

  43. L.... L....

    ...No. No. No. No. Please..Cover other songs. Not the killers. You have a great voice..But please. Not a personal attack but, Everyone should just give up on killers songs, No one can do it like them.

  44. F.... A....

    I think this is the most beatiful cover of a song I've ever heard.

  45. Y.... ....

    Saw Benjamin at a gig 2day 2 be honest I didn't really know who he wad my sister loves him and now do I! Hyde park in London ,sad about his gran. Going to buy his next album for her bday. Lovely song can't believe I only knew 2 songs......

  46. R.... E....

    I agree that there was not enough power in the song. No crescendo not bad but not great. meh
    .

  47. E.... H....

    WOW :'D xxx

  48. D.... B....

    Not enough power.

  49. D.... B....

    It's not a competition.

  50. T.... F....

    better than the killers version...i think

  51. T.... ....

    beautiful.

  52. S.... S....

    this isn't on his album =(

  53. s.... ....

    i like this version better :)

  54. W.... W....

    This is the best cover i've heard for a while

  55. D.... W....

    i love you

  56. E.... D....

    people who disliked this should just go listen to their ipod, which is undoubtedly one happy playlist of justin bieber, miley cyrus and selena gomez. this is real music, so you 24 people are all fake. carry on as you were.

  57. j.... c....

    amazing

  58. A.... M....

    Major goosebumps!

  59. P.... P....

    Me encanta esta cansion no puedo dejar de escucharla :)

  60. B.... ....

    God bless Mike Skinner...without him i would have never known this man existed.

  61. G.... ....

    what. .

  62. J.... k....

    Love it

  63. E.... A....

    This guy literally urinates on the vocal cords of Brandon Flowers!

  64. G.... ....

    wow that was different....and totally brilliant.

  65. L.... C....

    I feel like my entire life was just to prepare me for this song

  66. M.... r....

    More covers the killers pls ! C:

  67. T.... H....

    @theoneandonlyzaira Oh, you seriously think I haven't heard the Killers song... or intact seen them 7 times. It's a variation cover, it's supposed to be different.
    And If you have never heard a good Killers cover song you haven't really looked to be honest. Boynce Avenue do an amazing cover of Mr. Brightside of the top of my head and i'm sure there are more
    I'm also commenting as a true Killers fan.... It is good.
    (Also I don't know why you keep putting some words in capital but its annoying)

  68. O.... Z....

    @TomAndJeddy1 If you have ever listened to the killers ORIGINAL song, you will understand why that song was a great hit by them. The lyrics aren't meant to be as slow as they are with Leftwich, thats why it does not sound right.
    NEVER have i heard a good cover of a song by The Killers, but i think thats because their songs are just original, & thats why they fit THEM & only THEM so well.

    Sorry i'm a true KILLERS fan & i was commenting on a KILLERS fan POV.
    I guess to you its good....

  69. T.... H....

    @theoneandonlyzaira Eat shit.

  70. O.... Z....

    stop!!!!!! you killed the killers song! that's how bad it is...

  71. a.... ....

    really looking forward just to hear this when he is in belfast

  72. a.... ....

    soooo good, but its too short lol

  73. a.... m....

    wow! spine tingling

  74. A.... S....

    This man.... Woah.

  75. C.... ....

    this is the muts nuts, amazing voice ! posh name but cant have everything ...

  76. B.... G....

    @JordanReedMusik I agree, I was a little out of line there. I must have been a really crummy mood that day. However, I still stand by what I said in my last comment.

  77. B.... G....

    @JordanReedMusik Im not sure how my lack of singing talent is relevant to my ability to express my opinion on a comment section of a video. By saying I can't judge other peoples music before I can sing better than them myself, is like saying I cant judge a book until I write a better one. Does that make any sense? That said I revise my original comment: "I did not like the cover of this song, this singers voice may work with other pieces but I dont believe it did in this song"

  78. M.... T....

    SHIT, where has he been all this time?

  79. M.... ....

    @patrickarm1 at least you're not as late as me ;)

  80. A.... ....

    someone tab this on acoustic please!

  81. B.... G....

    @niavarna I disagree, 15 people know a bad singer when they hear one.

  82. E.... F....

    found him ages ago , what a pure voice ♥

  83. d.... ....

    @returnoftheredeye I've never had herbal tea, but I bet i'll find it too strong

  84. L.... D....

    I loved this version :3

  85. S.... A....

    i love his voice.

  86. J.... ....

    Amazing!

  87. e.... ....

    please focus on his passion for music !

  88. B.... ....

    his voice is so relaxing*w*

  89. l.... ....

    wowwwwwwwwwwww

  90. a.... ....

    likelikelikelikelike

  91. r.... ....

    Completely devoid of heart, spine, or balls. Music for people who find herbal tea a bit too strong.

  92. s.... ....

    @MrLuizzuc I think so, too

  93. N.... W....

    ACOUSTIC IS SO NICE :)

  94. P.... B....

    not a touch on the original, but if you hunt out "Pictures" by the same artist , well , i rest my case . classic :-)

  95. S.... ....

    @smartalex76 Couldn't agree with you more. Sure, good cover, but not nearly as good as the original. But that's just my opinion of course :)

  96. A.... ....

    already added this to my favourites within 10 seconds of the song starting.

  97. N.... A....

    It lacks the energy of the original one.

  98. L.... Z....

    It's no better than the original from The Killers. Although, it's beautiful by it's own way.

  99. S.... G....

    looooooovvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeee
