Save Me From My Old Ways

I think the song that best describes my journey from adolescence to this point in my life and the choices I find myself making now would have to be "When You Were Young" by The Killers. It fits me perfectly. I love this song so much. In my mind, it describes how throughout adolescence I searched for the perfect man but would instead find myself getting caught in a hurricane of bad decisions. I could climb the mountains I had created only if I took it slow. Overcoming the past is not a walk in the park. Most of us look for those who we have built up in our minds as the perfect match... we did it when we were young, we are doing it now. I will always be on the lookout for that beautiful boy who will save me from my old ways, not add to them. And a boy can only save you when he inspires you to do so for yourself.

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 come

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 come

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

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.
