We Are Young
Little Mix Lyrics

Tonight
This is a special moment in time

We are young
We have energy, potential and time on our side

So let's set the world on fire
Let's ignite our passions, ideas and actions to make a difference

We can burn brighter than the sun
Our potential is limitless and we can achieve greatness

Give me a second I,
I need a moment to gather my thoughts and emotions

I need to get my story straight
I want to be clear and honest in my intentions

My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My friends are engaging in self-destructive behavior

My lover she's waiting for me just across the bar
My significant other is nearby and wants my attention

My seat's been taken by some sunglasses asking about a scar, and
A stranger has taken my seat and is inquiring about a physical injury I have

I know I gave it to you months ago
I caused harm in the past

I know you're trying to forget
I understand that my actions were hurtful and you're trying to move on

But between the drinks and subtle things
Even though we're drinking and having fun, there is an underlying tension between us

The holes in my apologies, you know
Apologizing is not enough to heal the pain I've caused

I'm trying hard to take it back
I am actively working to make amends for my past mistakes

So if by the time the bar closes
Even if we stay until the end of the night

And you feel like falling down
If you become overwhelmed or emotional

I'll carry you home
I will be there to support and comfort you

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

All that you got
All of the love and support you have

I guess that I, I just thought
I had the assumption that I was your everything

Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
We are struggling to maintain our relationship

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

So let's raise a cup
Let's celebrate this moment of connection and togetherness

'Cause I found someone to carry me home
I have a support system and someone to rely on

Carry me home tonight (Na na na na na na)
Take me back to a safe and comforting environment

Just carry me home tonight (Na na na na na na)
All I need is someone to help me through this emotional moment

The world is on my side
I feel optimistic and hopeful about the future

I have no reason to run
There is nothing to fear or avoid

So will someone come and carry me home tonight
I am asking for someone's help and support

The end is never right
Closure is difficult to achieve and often unsatisfying

But I can hear the choir
I have hope for something better and uplifting

So will someone tell them carry me home
I am calling out for assistance and guidance
