We Are Young
Fun. Feat.Janelle Moáe Lyrics

Give me a second I
I need some time to gather my thoughts before I speak

I need to get my story straight
I need to have a clear and consistent explanation for something

My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My friends are using 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
Someone is sitting in my seat and asking about a scar I have

And I know I gave it to you months ago
I am aware that I caused a problem for you several months ago

I know you’re trying to forget
I understand you are attempting to move on from what I did

But between the drinks and subtle things
Despite our attempts at moving on, the issue between us keeps coming back up

The holes in my apologies, you know
My apologies are not entirely sincere or sufficient

I’m trying hard to take it back
I am making an effort to make things right and move forward

So if by the time the bar closes
If the night progresses and things become more difficult

And you feel like falling down
And you start to feel overwhelmed or upset

I’ll carry you home
I’ll make sure you make it home safely tonight

Tonight
Right now in this moment

We are young
We are youthful and carefree

So let’s set the world on fire
Let’s do something wild and exhilarating

We can burn brighter than the sun
We can be at our most vibrant and bold

Now I know that I’m not
I understand that I’m not the most important person in your life

All that you got
The main thing you have

I guess that I, I just thought
I assumed that maybe we could be important to one another

Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
We might discover new and different ways in which things become challenging between us

But our friends are back
Our friends have returned

So let’s raise a toast
Let’s celebrate with some drinks

'Cause I found someone to carry me home
I’ve found someone to make sure I get home safely

Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Make sure I get home safely tonight

Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Take me back to where I need to be tonight

The moon is on my side (Nananananana)
The moon is providing me with guidance

I have no reason to run (Nananananana)
I am not afraid to face the consequences

So will someone come and carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Can someone help me make it home safely tonight

The angels never arrived (Nananananana)
No divine intervention occurred

But I can hear the choir (Nananananana)
I am still seeking guidance

So will someone come and carry me home (Nananananana)
Can someone make sure I make it home safely?

Tonight
Right now in this moment

We are young
We are youthful and carefree

So let’s set the world on fire
Let’s do something wild and exhilarating

We can burn brighter than the sun
We can be at our most vibrant and bold

So if by the time the bar closes
If the night progresses and things become more difficult

And you feel like falling down
And you start to feel overwhelmed or upset

I’ll carry you home tonight
I’ll ensure that you make it home safely tonight
