We Are Young (Radio Edit)

[Verse 1: Nate Ruess]

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'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 it

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

[Chorus: Nate Ruess]

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

[Verse 2: Nate Ruess]

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 toast

'Cause I found someone to carry me home

[Chorus: Nate Ruess]

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

[Bridge: Janelle Monáe & Nate Ruess]

Carry me home tonight

Just carry me home tonight

Carry me home tonight (The moon is on my side, I have no reason to run)

Just carry me home tonight (So will someone come and carry me home tonight?)

Carry me home tonight (The angels never arrived)

Just carry me home tonight  (But I can hear the choir, So will someone come and carry me home?)

[Chorus: Nate Ruess]

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

[Outro: Nate Ruess]

So if by the time the bar closes

And you feel like falling down

I'll carry you home tonight
