We Are Young
F.U.N. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We would talk about
The things that we'd both want
And through thick and thin
We knew all about
The things that'd make us strong
When we were young
We knew everything and everyone who dared to take it all
Will you still feel the same?
Back when the days were so long
And we were still so young
Feeling the music?
You feeling the movement?
Yeah! I want what everybody wants
Just like in the movies
The fame and beauty
Yeah, I want what everybody wants
Just what everybody wants
But when it's golden you'll believe
And when you know it you'll feel free yeah
When we were young
We would run through the woods
We would run through the fire
When we were young
When we were young
We had burning love
And had burning desire
Lala la la
Lala la la
You need me to be
Just want you want me to be!
And I get what everybody wants
Well, I just want to be
Right where you want me
I can't get you outta my mind
But when it's golden you'll believe
And when you know it you'll feel free yeah
When we were young
We would run through the woods
We would run through the fire
When we were young
When we were young
We had burning love
And had burning desire
When we were young
We would talk about
The things that we'd both want
And through thick and thin
We knew all about
The things that'd make us strong
When we were young
We knew everything and everyone who dared to take it all
And when we look back on it all
Will you still feel the same?
Back when the days were so long
And we were still so young
When we were young
We would run through the woods
We would run through the fire
When we were young
When we were young
We had burning love
And had burning desire
Lala la la
Lala la la
When we were young
The lyrics to F.U.N.'s song We Are Young reflect a deep sense of vulnerability and a yearning for hope and understanding. The first verse speaks to the idea of falling, both physically and emotionally. The leaves falling represents the passing of time and the temporary nature of life, while tears running dry imply a sense of emptiness and sadness. The singer questions if talking to God would bring any kind of reply or comfort. They reflect on turning to substances to numb their problems, but wonder if reaching out to God would offer any solace. The line "will she save me from my mind" shows the singer's desperation for relief from their inner turmoil.
The second verse continues with the theme of escape, as the singer envies the freedom of birds to fly away from the burdens of life. But instead of flying away, the singer encourages the listener to take things one step at a time, to focus on the light that will guide them through the darkness. This positivity is echoed in the chorus, as the singer affirms "we gon' be okay", repeated twice for emphasis. The final line of the song, "she might", suggests that while the future is uncertain and there are no guarantees, there is still a glimmer of hope that things will get better.

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's 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 new ways to fall apart
But our friends are back
So let's raise a cup
'Cause I found someone to 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
Carry me home tonight (na na na na na na)
Just carry me home tonight (na na na na na na)
Carry me home tonight (na na na na na na)
Just carry me home tonight (na na na na na na)
The moon is on my side (na na na na na na)
I have no reason to run (na na na na na na)
So will someone come and carry me home tonight (na na na na na na)
The angels never arrived (na na na na na na)
But I can hear the choir (na na na na na na)
So will someone come and carry me home (na na na na na na)
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

@Jorge Rivas i can relate...
in the beginning of the year, i was getting bullied by these girls who i thought were my friends which they always claimed to be..
but they'd constantly hurt me leave me out of things and constantly make me cry..
i was too scared to make new friends so i didnt..
im still with that toxic friend group, and even though they claim to be my friend, and claim to care about me, they never said sorry..
to make things worse, i'd cry every night just wishing to be in my old town again, when i felt like people cared about me and loved me..
all those good friends from my old town are gone now, and worse thing was is that i never got to say bye..
they're a bit better now but like i said they havent told me they're sorry yet..
you never realize how good you have it until it's gone..
