We Are Young
Glee Cast Lyrics

Give me a second, I, I need to get my story straight
Let me take a moment to gather my thoughts and make sure I have a clear understanding of what I want to say.

My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My friends are currently using drugs in the bathroom and are probably intoxicated to an extreme level.

My lover, he is waiting for me just across the bar
My significant other is currently sitting on the other side of the bar, waiting for me to come over and talk to him.

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

I know I gave it to you months ago
I understand that I did or said something to you a few months back, which might have caused some damage in our relationship.

I know you're trying to forget
I understand that you are doing your best to put the incident behind and move on.

But between the drinks and subtle things, the holes in my apologies
Despite my attempts to apologize and mend things, there are small underlying issues that might be impacting us and the situation is deteriorating due to alcohol.

You know, I'm trying hard to take it back
I want to correct what was done or said and take back anything which might have hurt you.

So if by the time the bar closes
If the closing time of the bar comes along and..

And you feel like falling down
If you feel exhausted, distressed or depressed..

I'll carry you home...
I promise to take care of you and escort you back to your place or help you through whatever is bothering you.

Tonight, we are young
Today, we are still youthful, adventurous and we have time to make the most of our lives.

So let's set the world on fire
Therefore, let's innovate, create and do something that would impress and inspire others.

We can burn brighter than the sun
We can be much more shine, captivating or radiant compared to the sun.

Now know that I'm not
Know that I am not the only person in your life or the most important one.

All that you got
The only thing you have is me, I am probably the piece holding all you got together.

I guess that I, I just thought
I might have assumed wrong, but I hoped that we would be able to fix our problems.

Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
Maybe we're not meant to be together and we should explore the potential of having a different partner.

But our friends are back
But our buddies are here.

So let's raise a cup
Thus, let's cheers with glasses filled with drinks.

'Cause I found someone to carry me home
Because I have found someone to accompany me back home, take care of me and make sure I'm safe.

Woah!
Just an enthusiastic interjection expressing excitement or amazement.

Carry me home tonight
Please, take me with you and guide me to my house.

The moon is on my side (Carry me home tonight)
I have the power of the moon on my side, which might aid in the journey back home.

I have no reason to run (Just carry me home tonight)
I don't feel viewed as a threat to be avoided or run from, please, assist and guide me.

So will someone come and carry me home tonight?
I am asking for someone to take charge and help me with the journey back home.

The angels never arrived
The divine protectors or helpers never arrived to aid me.

But I can hear the choir (Just carry me home tonight)
However, the choir of supportive individuals can be heard which motivates me to reach the goal of getting back home.

We are young, yeah
We are still youthful, vibrant and lively.

So if by the time the bar closes
Therefore, if the bar reaches its closing time and...

And you feel like falling down
In the case you feel physically, emotionally or mentally different..

I'll carry you home tonight
I will make sure to safely get you back to your place.
