We Are Young
Fun (Feat Janelle Monae) Lyrics

Give me a second I
I need a moment to prepare myself for what I'm about to say or do next.

I need to get my story straight
I need to make sure my explanation is logical and believable.

My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My friends are using drugs and getting excessively high.

My lover she's waiting for me just across the bar
My romantic partner is patiently waiting for me at the nearby bar.

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

I know I gave it to you months ago
I am aware that I harmed you several months ago.

I know you're trying to forget
I know you're attempting to move on from the pain that I caused.

But between the drinks and subtle things
Despite the alcohol and discreet gestures, you can sense I regret my actions.

The holes in my apologies, you know
You know my apologies are incomplete and inadequate.

I'm trying hard to take it back
I am making sincere efforts to undo the damage I caused.

So if by the time the bar closes
If it's already the end of the night at the bar...

And you feel like falling down
If you're feeling overwhelmed or emotionally drained...

I'll carry you home
I'll take care of you and make sure you get home safely.

Tonight
This evening or the present moment.

We are young
We are still youthful and full of life.

So let's set the world on fire
Let's do something incredible and unforgettable.

We can burn brighter than the sun
We can shine brighter and more intensely than anything else in the world.

Now I know that I'm not
I am aware that I am not the only one in your life.

All that you got
Everything that you possess.

I guess that I, I just thought
I assumed that I could be more important to you than I actually am.

Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
Perhaps we could discover new methods of ruining our relationship.

But our friends are back
Our companions have returned to the group.

So let's raise a cup
Let's celebrate with a toast or a drink.

'Cause I found someone to carry me home
Since I found someone to take care of me and help me when I'm in trouble.

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

Just carry me home tonight (na na na na na na)
Just make sure I make it back to my destination tonight.

The moon is on my side (na na na na na na)
The lunar body is my ally and supports me.

I have no reason to run (na na na na na na)
I do not need to escape from anything right now or have any reason to do so.

So will someone come and carry me home tonight (na na na na na na)
Can someone please help me get back to my place of residence tonight?

The angels never arrived (na na na na na na)
The divine beings did not show up to assist me.

But I can hear the choir (na na na na na na)
But I can still hear beautiful music and feel uplifted by it.

So will someone come and carry me home (na na na na na na)
Can someone please give me a ride home?

So if by the time the bar closes
If it's already the end of the night at the bar...

And you feel like falling down
If you're feeling emotionally exhausted or distressed...

I'll carry you home tonight
I will take care of you and ensure that you arrive home safely tonight.
