We Are Young
The Wired Strings Lyrics

Give me a second I
I need to collect my thoughts before I speak

I need to get my story straight
I need to make sure I'm not lying

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 partner 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 and asking about my injury

I know I gave it to you months ago
I know I hurt you months ago

I know you’re trying to forget
I know you're trying to move on

But between the drinks and subtle things
But with alcohol and small actions

The holes in my apologies, you know
My apologies are not sincere

I’m trying hard to take it back
I'm trying my best to make it right

So if by the time the bar closes
So if when the bar closes

And you feel like falling down
And you feel like giving up

I’ll carry you home
I'll take care of you

Tonight
This evening

We are young
We are still inexperienced

So let’s set the world on fire
Let's have the best time possible

We can burn brighter than the sun
We can be happy and carefree

Now I know that I’m not
I now realize that I am not

All that you got
Everything you have

I guess that I, I just thought
I assumed

Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
Maybe we could break up in a different way

But our friends are back
But our friends have returned

So let’s raise a toast
Let's celebrate

‘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 this evening

Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Only take me home this evening

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

I have no reason to run (Nananananana)
I have no reason to flee

So will someone come and carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
So can someone please take me home this evening

The angels never arrived (Nananananana)
The expected help never came

But I can hear the choir (Nananananana)
But I can hear the music

So will someone come and carry me home (Nananananana)
So can someone please take me home

So if by the time the bar closes
So if when the bar closes

And you feel like falling down
And you feel like giving up

I’ll carry you home tonight
I'll take care of you this evening
