We Are Young
Fun; Janelle Monaé Lyrics

Give me a second I
I need a moment to collect myself

I need to get my story straight
I need to get my facts in order

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

My lover she's waiting for me just across the bar
My partner is waiting for me at the bar

My seat's been taken by some sunglasses asking 'bout a scar, and
My seat has been taken by a stranger inquiring about my injury

I know I gave it to you months ago
I know I hurt you a few months ago

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

But between the drinks and subtle things
But because of alcohol and other small things

The holes in my apologies, you know
My apologies are incomplete and insufficient

I'm trying hard to take it back
I'm trying hard to make things right

So if by the time the bar closes
So if the night comes to an end

And you feel like falling down
And you feel overwhelmed

I'll carry you home
I'll help you out

Tonight
This evening

We are young
We are youthful

So let's set the world on fire
Let's make a big impact

We can burn brighter than the sun
We can shine brighter than anyone else

Now I know that I'm not
I understand that I'm not the only one

All that you got
All that you have

I guess that I, I just thought
I assumed

Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
Maybe we could find new ways to separate

But our friends are back
But our friends have returned

So let's raise a cup
Let's celebrate

'Cause I found someone to carry me home
Because I found help to get me home

Carry me home tonight (na na na na na na)
Help me get home tonight

Just carry me home tonight (na na na na na na)
Just assist me in getting home tonight

The moon is on my side (na na na na na na)
The moon is on my side

I have no reason to run (na na na na na na)
I have no reason to run away

So will someone come and carry me home tonight (na na na na na na)
Would someone please help me get home tonight

The angels never arrived (na na na na na na)
The help I was hoping for never came

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)
So could someone please help me get home

Tonight
This evening

We are young
We are youthful

So let's set the world on fire
Let's make a big impact

We can burn brighter than the sun
We can shine brighter than anyone else

So if by the time the bar closes
So if the night comes to an end

And you feel like falling down
And you feel overwhelmed

I'll carry you home tonight
I'll help you out tonight
