We Are Young
Fun ft. Janelle Monae Lyrics

Give me a second I
I need a moment to compose myself and gather my thoughts

I need to get my story straight
I need to organize my thoughts and come up with a convincing explanation

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

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

My seat's been taken by some sunglasses asking about a scar, and
Someone wearing sunglasses has occupied my seat and is inquiring about a scar that I have

I know I gave it to you months ago
I am aware that I caused you pain several months earlier

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

But between the drinks and subtle things
Despite my best efforts to apologize, the alcohol and other small factors are getting in the way

The holes in my apologies, you know
I realize that my apologies are not completely sincere or genuine

I'm trying hard to take it back
I am struggling to undo the damage that I have caused

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

And you feel like falling down, I'll carry you home
If you are feeling unwell or sad, I will make sure you get home safely

Tonight, we are young
We are still young and have our whole lives ahead of us

So let's set the world on fire
Let's live life to the fullest, and make an impact on the world

We can burn brighter than the sun
We have the potential to shine brighter than anything 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, I guess that I, I just thought
I was under the impression that I was the most important person in your life

Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
Perhaps we can discover new ways to split apart and move away from each other

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

So let's raise a tab
Let's order drinks and socialize with our friends

'Cause I found someone to carry me home
Because I have met someone who is willing to help me get home safely

Carry me home tonight (Na na na na na na)
Please transport me to my residence this evening

Just carry me home tonight (Na na na na na na)
All I ask is that you kindly take me to my home this evening

The world is on my side
I feel like the world is supporting me

I have no reason to run
I am not compelled to flee or escape from anything

So will someone come and carry me home tonight
Would someone be willing to help me return to my dwelling this evening?

The angels never arrived
No divine intervention has taken place

But I can hear the choir
I can hear a group of people singing in harmony

So will someone come and carry me home
Will someone help escort me to my dwelling?

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

And you feel like falling down
If you are feeling upset or unwell

I'll carry you home tonight
I will make sure you get home safely this evening
