We Are Young (feat. Janelle Monáe)

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, she is waiting for me

Just across the bar

My seat's been taken by some sunglasses

Asking 'bout her 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've 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 toast

'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 (Na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na)

Just carry me home tonight (Na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na)

Carry me home tonight (Na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na)

Just carry me home tonight (Na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na)

The moon is on my side (Na-na-na-na, na-na)

I have no reason to run (Na-na-na-na, na-na)

So will someone come and carry me home tonight? (Na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na)

The angels never arrived (Na-na-na-na, na-na)

But I can hear the choir (Na-na-na-na, na-na)

So will someone come and carry me home? (Na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na)

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

So if by the time

The bar closes

And you feel like falling down

I'll carry you home

Tonight
