About We Are Young (feat. Janelle Monáe)

“We Are Young” was the lead single from fun.’s second album "Some Nights". It hit #1 on the Hot 100 for 6 straight weeks (from March 17 to April 21, 2012). Lyrically, the song describes a wild night out and the necessity for good friends to be there for you – even at your worst and completely drunk. The song was released in the fall of 2011, but a quick cover of it by Glee in December brought it to the attention of a larger audience and kick-started the song’s ultimate success. .

We Are Young (feat. Janelle Monáe) Lyrics

[00:08.21] Give me a second, I
[00:10.04] I need to get my story straight
[00:12.11] My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
[00:16.37] My lover, she's waiting for me just across the bar
[00:19.89] My seat's been taken by some sunglasses asking 'bout her scar and
[00:25.09] I know I gave it to you months ago
[00:29.39] I know you're trying to forget
[00:32.42] But between the drinks and subtle things
[00:35.03] The holes in my apologies
[00:36.99] You know I'm trying hard to take it back
[00:40.46] So if by the time the bar closes
[00:43.74] And you feel like falling down
[00:46.40] I'll carry you home
[00:49.09] Tonight
[00:53.02] We are young
[00:57.58] So let's set the world on fire
[01:01.65] We can burn brighter than the sun
[01:09.93] Tonight
[01:13.91] We are young
[01:18.32] So let's set the world on fire
[01:22.39] We can burn brighter than the sun
[01:30.57] Now I know that I'm not all that you got
[01:35.95] I guess that I, I just thought
[01:38.64] Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
[01:41.71] But our friends are back
[01:44.25] So let's raise a toast
[01:46.60] 'Cause I found someone to carry me home
[01:50.78] Tonight
[01:54.86] We are young
[01:59.28] So let's set the world on fire
[02:03.34] We can burn brighter than the sun
[02:08.87]
[02:11.68] Tonight
[02:15.62] We are young
[02:20.35] So let's set the world on fire
[02:24.26] We can burn brighter than the sun
[02:32.71] Carry me home tonight
[02:37.75] Just carry me home tonight
[02:43.15] Carry me home tonight
[02:48.23] Just carry me home tonight
[02:54.58] The moon is on my side
[02:57.04] I have no reason to run
[02:59.69] So will someone come and carry me home tonight?
[03:04.92] The angels never arrived
[03:07.54] But I can hear the choir
[03:10.18] So will someone come and carry me home?
[03:14.35] Tonight
[03:18.23] We are young
[03:22.73] So let's set the world on fire
[03:26.78] We can burn brighter than the sun
[03:32.96]
[03:35.05] Tonight
[03:39.25] We are young
[03:43.67] So let's set the world on fire
[03:47.72] We can burn brighter than the sun
[03:54.91] So if by the time the bar closes
[03:58.61] And you feel like falling down
[04:01.34] I'll carry you home tonight
[04:05.05]
