[​fun., Janelle Monáe - We Are Young lyrics]

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

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 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
Just carry me home tonight
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
The moon 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
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
