Brandon Flowers I can tell is a lot like myself. The way he views relationships and innocence. The clearest indication of this is in their x-mas release, "A Great Big Sled"
This song follows the same idea of innocence. He acknowledges that as you grow you lose that innocence. When you a kid, you dream of prince charming, or in this case, "Jesus" because you are raised as good religious (i want to say christian) girl.
The girl in this song in particular lost her innocence....just as the majority of "slutty" girls do nowadays. They lose all respect and can only attract degenerates and jerks, and then wonder why they can't find a good guy.
Well, I give Brandon props for being the type of guy he is. In his song he acknowledges that its OK to make some mistakes. To dip your feet in the devils water. Essentially saying he understands the urge to do crazy things. But if you do it too much its going to get bitter.
But then, this girl finds some guys that respects her and treats her just how she imagined when she was younger.
The problem is, this girl doesn't know what to do or how to act.
Can we climb this mountain? Obvious reference to 'I got you Babe' (Put your little hand in mine, and there aint no mountain, you and I can't climb."
Can the relationship last? They don't know, but they are trying.
The main line here is, "he doesn't look a thing like Jesus, but more than you'll ever know"
This references the fact that the guy is "saving" her from her disruptive past.
Its a song for all those girls out there that dreamed of something more in life, but seemed to have gotten stuck with dirt. Brandon is essentially saying, "don't give up, some guy out there can save you, but he might not look like you think he will."
@fr0st2k Great interpretation of the last line in the song. When she eventually meets the "nice guy" of the type she's been neglecting all her life, she doesn't recognize him, either ("he doesn't look a thing like Jesus"), but he saves her anyway from all her horrible mistakes ("but more than you'll ever know")
