"We Are Young (Acoustic)" lyrics

"We Are Young (Acoustic)"
(originally by Fun.)

Tonight we are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

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 – he's waiting for me just across the bar
My seat's been taken by some sunglasses asking about a 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,
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 now our friends are back
So let's raise a cup
'Cause I found someone to carry me home

Tonight (tonight, tonight) we are young (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

(Nananananana)
(Nananananana)

Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)

The moon is on my side
We have no reason to run
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 (tonight, 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
