We Are Young
Jeff Bhasker Lyrics

Give me a second I
I need some time to collect my thoughts

I need to get my story straight
I need to align my thoughts and words

My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My friends are doing drugs in the bathroom

My lover she's waiting for me just across the bar
My girlfriend is waiting for me at the bar

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

I know I gave it to you months ago
I am aware that I hurt you months ago

I know you're trying to forget
I know you are struggling to let go of the past

But between the drinks and subtle things
But in the midst of drinking and minor interactions

The holes in my apologies, you know
My apologies feel insincere and flawed to you

I'm trying hard to take it back
I am attempting to make amends

So if by the time the bar closes
If it's close to closing time

And you feel like falling down
And you are feeling overwhelmed

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

Tonight
This evening

We are young
We are youthful and free-spirited

So let's set the world on fire
Let's make a big impact on the world

We can burn brighter than the sun
We can shine even brighter than the sun

Now I know that I'm not
I understand that I'm not your only focus

All that you got
What you have in your life

I guess that I, I just thought
I assumed that we had something more

Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
Perhaps we could discover new ways to drift apart

But our friends are back
But our friends have returned

So let's raise a toast
Let's celebrate together

'Cause I found someone to carry me home
Because I found someone to take care of me

Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Take me home tonight

Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Just bring me back home tonight

The moon is on my side (Nananananana)
The moon is shining in my favor

I have no reason to run (Nananananana)
There's no need for me to escape

So will someone come and carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Can someone please help me get home tonight?

The angels never arrived (Nananananana)
Help never came

But I can hear the choir (Nananananana)
But music is still surrounding me

So will someone come and carry me home (Nananananana)
Can anyone help me get home?

So if by the time the bar closes
If it's close to closing time

And you feel like falling down
And you are feeling overwhelmed

I'll carry you home tonight
I'm promising to be there for you when you need me
