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

[00:08.31] Give me a second I
[00:09.95] I need to get my story straight
[00:12.15] My friends are in the bathroom
[00:13.96] Getting higher than the Empire State
[00:16.36] My lover she's waiting for me
[00:18.49] Just across the bar
[00:19.82] My seat's been taken by some sunglasses
[00:22.82] Asking about a scar and
[00:24.93] I know I gave it to you months ago
[00:29.08] I know you're trying to forget
[00:32.44] But between the drinks and suddle things
[00:34.91] The holes in my apologies
[00:36.83] You know, I'm trying hard to take it back
[00:40.13] So if by the time the bar closes
[00:43.59] And you feel like falling down
[00:46.28] I'll carry you home
[00:49.06] Tonight we are young
[00:57.49] So let's set the world on fire
[01:01.44] We can burn brighter
[01:03.67] Than the sun
[01:09.56] Tonight we are young
[01:18.26] So let's set the world on fire
[01:22.23] We can burn brighter
[01:24.66] Than the sun
[01:30.65] Now I know that I'm not
[01:33.20] All that you got
[01:36.06] I guess that I, I just thought
[01:38.57] Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
[01:41.61] But our friends are back
[01:44.08] So let's raise a cup
[01:46.55] 'Cause I found someone to carry me home
[01:50.52] Tonight we are young
[01:58.94] So let's the set the world on fire
[02:02.92] We can burn brighter
[02:05.48] Than the sun
[02:11.30] Tonight we are young
[02:19.99] So let's set the world on fire
[02:23.79] We can burn brighter
[02:26.13] Than the sun
[02:32.33] Carry me home tonight
[02:37.18] Just carry me home tonight
[02:42.86] Carry me home tonight
[02:47.64] Just carry me home tonight
[02:53.91] The world is on my side
[02:56.69] I have no reason to run
[02:59.32] So will someone come and carry me home tonight
[03:04.59] The angels never arrived
[03:07.25] But I can hear the choir
[03:09.93] So will someone come and carry me home
[03:14.01] Tonight we are young
[03:22.22] So let's set the world on fire
[03:26.40] We can burn brighter
[03:28.78] Than the sun
[03:34.85] Tonight we are young
[03:43.44] So let's set the world on fire
[03:47.21] We can burn brighter
[03:49.65] Than the sun
[03:54.51] So, if by the time the bar closes
[03:58.29] And you feel like falling down
[04:00.87] I'll carry you home tonight
[04:05.49]
