We Are Young

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Give me a second, I, I need to get my story straight

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

My lover he's waiting for me just across the bar

My seat's been taken by some sunglasses asking 'bout a scar, and

I know I gave it to you months ago

I know you're trying to forget

But between the drinks and subtle things

The holes in my apologies, you know

I'm trying hard to take it back

So if by the time the bar closes

And you feel like falling down

I'll carry you home

Tonight

We are young

So let's set the world on fire

We can burn brighter than the Sun

Tonight

We are young

So let's set the world on fire

We can burn brighter than the Sun

Now I know that I'm not all that you got

I guess that I, I just thought

Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart

But our friends are back

So let's raise a cup

'Cause I found someone to carry me home

Tonight

We are young

So let's set the world on fire

We can burn brighter than the Sun

Tonight

We are young

So let's set the world on fire

We can burn brighter than the Sun

Carry me home tonight

Just carry me home tonight

Carry me home tonight

Just carry me home tonight

The world is on my side

I have no reason to run

So will someone come and carry me home tonight?

The angels never arrived

But I can hear the choir

So will someone come and carry me home?

Tonight

We are young

So let's set the world on fire

We can burn brighter than the Sun

We are young, yeah

Tonight

We are young

So let's set the world on fire

We can burn brighter than the Sun

So if by the time the bar closes

And you feel like falling down

I'll carry you home tonight
