We Are Young
FUN./JANELLE MONNET Lyrics

Give me a second I
Hold on, I need to collect my thoughts

I need to get my story straight
I need to make sure my explanation is consistent

My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My friends are doing drugs in the bathroom

My lover she's waiting for me just across the bar
My significant other is waiting for me nearby

My seat's been taken by some sunglasses asking 'bout a scar, and
Someone is sitting in my seat and asking about a scar

I know I gave it to you months ago
I'm aware that I hurt you a while back

I know you're trying to forget
I understand that you're trying to move on

But between the drinks and subtle things
Despite the alcohol and small details

The holes in my apologies, you know
My apologies are not enough to fix things, you know

I'm trying hard to take it back
I'm doing my best to make it right

So if by the time the bar closes
If, by the end of the night

And you feel like falling down
And you're feeling overwhelmed

I'll carry you home
I'll take care of you

Tonight
This evening

We are young
We are still inexperienced

So let's set the world on fire
Let's have a wild time

We can burn brighter than the sun
We can make a big impact

Now I know that I'm not
I understand that I'm not everything to you

All that you got
All that you have

I guess that I, I just thought
I assumed that

Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
Maybe we could break up differently

But our friends are back
But our friends have returned

So let's raise a cup
Let's have a drink

'Cause I found someone to carry me home
Because I have found someone to take care of me

Carry me home tonight (na na na na na na)
Take me home tonight

Just carry me home tonight (na na na na na na)
Just take me home tonight

The moon is on my side (na na na na na na)
The moon is shining favorably upon me

I have no reason to run (na na na na na na)
There's no need for me to flee

So will someone come and carry me home tonight (na na na na na na)
Can somebody please take me home tonight

The angels never arrived (na na na na na na)
Help has not come

But I can hear the choir (na na na na na na)
But I can hear music

So will someone come and carry me home (na na na na na na)
Can somebody please take me home

Tonight
This evening

We are young
We are still inexperienced

So let's set the world on fire
Let's have a wild time

We can burn brighter than the sun
We can make a big impact

So if by the time the bar closes
If, by the end of the night

And you feel like falling down
And you're feeling overwhelmed

I'll carry you home tonight
I'll take care of you tonight
