We Are Young
Fun Ft. Janelle Mona Lyrics

Give me a second I
Please, just wait for a moment while I prepare myself mentally

I need to get my story straight
I must make sure my thoughts and actions are in alignment

My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My friends are likely using drugs in the restroom and are likely intoxicated.

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
A stranger has taken my seat and is asking me about an injury.

I know I gave it to you months ago
It has been months since I caused you harm

I know you're trying to forget
I understand that you are making an effort to put this behind us

But between the drinks and subtle things
However, the alcohol and other factors are making it difficult to move on

The holes in my apologies, you know
There are gaps in my apologies and attempts to make amends that you are aware of

I'm trying hard to take it back
I'm making every effort to turn this situation around

So if by the time the bar closes
Therefore, if by the time this establishment closes

And you feel like falling down
If you feel overwhelmed and in need of assistance

I'll carry you home
I'll see to it that you make it home safely

Tonight
This evening

We are young
We are at a point in our lives where we have our whole lives ahead of us

So let's set the world on fire
Let's take advantage of our youth and do something amazing

We can burn brighter than the sun
We can be powerful and bright in our accomplishments

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

All that you got
I realize that you have other people in your life who matter to you

I guess that I, I just thought
Although I knew this on some level, I hoped that maybe things could be different

Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
But perhaps our relationship is just too troubled and doomed to fail

But our friends are back
However, our mutual friends have returned

So let's raise a cup
Let's celebrate this moment and enjoy each other's company

'Cause I found someone to carry me home
Since I found someone who will take care of me if I need it

Carry me home tonight (na na na na na na)
Bring me home this evening

Just carry me home tonight (na na na na na na)
Please bring me home tonight

The moon is on my side (na na na na na na)
The moon seems to be in my favor

I have no reason to run (na na na na na na)
I am not in danger and there is no reason for me to flee

So will someone come and carry me home tonight (na na na na na na)
Would someone be kind enough to offer to take me home tonight?

The angels never arrived (na na na na na na)
No one came to my aid when I needed it the most

But I can hear the choir (na na na na na na)
It seems that I can hear some kind of musical performance in the distance

So will someone come and carry me home (na na na na na na)
Will someone please be kind enough to provide me with a ride home?

Tonight
This evening

We are young
We are still inexperienced in the way the world works

So let's set the world on fire
Let's make an impact and use our youth in the most productive way possible

We can burn brighter than the sun
We can use our passion and energy to achieve great things

So if by the time the bar closes
Therefore, if by the time this establishment closes

And you feel like falling down
If you feel overwhelmed and in need of assistance

I'll carry you home tonight
I will ensure your safe passage home this evening
