We Are Young
Fun. / Janelle Monáe Lyrics

Give me a second I
Just need a moment

I need to get my story straight
Need to figure out what to say

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 girlfriend is at the bar waiting for me

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

I know I gave it to you months ago
I know I hurt you a while back

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

But between the drinks and subtle things
But with all the alcohol and small gestures

The holes in my apologies, you know
My apologies have not been sincere

I'm trying hard to take it back
I'm trying to make amends for what I did

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

And you feel like falling down, I'll carry you home
If you feel overwhelmed, I'll support you

Tonight, we are young
We're young and carefree tonight

So let's set the world on fire
Let's have a good time and make a lasting memory

We can burn brighter than the sun
We can have an unforgettable experience

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

All that you got, I guess that I, I just thought
It seemed like you only had me, but I was wrong

Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
Maybe we should break up in a different way

But our friends are back
Our friends have returned

So let's raise a tab
Let's have some drinks

'Cause I found someone to carry me home
I found someone to support me when I'm overwhelmed

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)
Please support me tonight

The world is on my side
I feel confident and optimistic

I have no reason to run
I have no reason to be afraid

So will someone come and carry me home tonight
Can someone help me when I need it?

The angels never arrived
Help never came from above

But I can hear the choir
But I can hear music that uplifts me

So will someone come and carry me home
Can anyone help me when I'm overwhelmed?

Tonight, we are young
We're young and carefree tonight

So let's set the world on fire
Let's have a good time and create a lasting memory

We can burn brighter than the sun
We can have a truly unforgettable experience
