Lyrics to We Are Young feat. Janelle Monáe by Fun

Give me a second I

I need to get my story straight

My friends are in the bathroom

getting higher than the empire state

my lover she is waiting for me

just across the bar

My seat's been taken by some sunglasses

asking 'bout a scar

and I know I gave it to you months ago

I know you're trying to forget

but between the drinks and subtle things

the holes in my apologies

you know I'm trying hard to take it back

so if by the time the bar closes

and you feel like falling down

I'll carry you home

Tonight

We are young

So let's set the world on fire

We can burn brighter

than the sun

Tonight

we are young

so let's set the world on fire

we can burn brighter

than the sun

Now I know that I'm not

all that you got

I guess that I

I just thought maybe we could find a ways to fall apart

But our friends are back

So let's raise a toast

Cause I found someone to carry me home

Tonight

We are young

So let's the set the world on fire

we can burn brighter

than the sun

Tonight

We are young

so let's set the world on fire

we can burn brighter

than the sun

Carry me home tonight

Just carry me home tonight

Carry me home tonight

Just carry me home tonight

The moon is on my side

I have no reason to run

So will someone come and carry me home tonight

The angels never arrived

but I can hear the choir

so will someone come and carry me home

Tonight

We are young

So let's set the world on fire

we can burn brighter

than the sun

Tonight

We are young

so let's set the world on fire

we can burn brighter

than the sun

So if by the time the bar closes

and you feel like falling down

I'll carry you home tonight
