We Are Young
Fun. ft Janelle Monae Lyrics

Give me a second I
Just hold on a moment while I figure out what to say next

I need to get my story straight
I have to make sure I remember the facts about what happened

My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My buddies are doing drugs in the bathroom and it's making them really high

My lover she's waiting for me just across the bar
My significant other is waiting for me at the other end of the bar

My seat's been taken by some sunglasses asking 'bout a scar, and
Someone else is sitting in the seat I was in, and they are asking about a scar that I have

I know I gave it to you months ago
I realize I did something wrong a long time ago

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

But between the drinks and subtle things
But with all these drinks and small details

The holes in my apologies, you know
There are flaws in my apologies to you

I'm trying hard to take it back
I'm doing my best to fix my mistakes

So if by the time the bar closes
If before the bar shuts down

And you feel like falling down
And you're feeling like everything is crashing down

I'll carry you home
I'll help you through it and take you home

Tonight
Right now

We are young
We're still inexperienced in life

So let's set the world on fire
Let's light things up and have an unforgettable experience

We can burn brighter than the sun
We can have such a great time that it outshines everything else

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

All that you got
All you have in your life

I guess that I, I just thought
I suppose I thought

Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
Perhaps we could discover different methods for breaking up

But our friends are back
But our buddies are back now

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

'Cause I found someone to carry me home
Because I have someone to help me when I'm struggling

Carry me home tonight (na na na na na na)
Assist me when we leave tonight

Just carry me home tonight (na na na na na na)
Take care of me until we get home tonight

The moon is on my side (na na na na na na)
The moon is shining down on me

I have no reason to run (na na na na na na)
I'm not trying to escape anything

So will someone come and carry me home tonight (na na na na na na)
Could someone please lend me a hand to get home tonight

The angels never arrived (na na na na na na)
No divine intervention has occurred

But I can hear the choir (na na na na na na)
But I can imagine the singing of a group of voices

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

Tonight
Right now

We are young
We're still inexperienced in life

So let's set the world on fire
Let's make tonight unforgettable

We can burn brighter than the sun
We can have such a great time that nothing else matters

So if by the time the bar closes
If before the bar shuts down

And you feel like falling down
And you're feeling like everything is crashing down

I'll carry you home tonight
I'll help you through it and take you home tonight
