Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 is waiting for me
Just across the bar
My seat's been taken by some sunglasses
Asking 'bout her 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, you know
I'm trying hard to take it back
[PreChorus]
So if by the time
The bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home
[Chorus]
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun
[Chorus]
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun
[Verse 2]
Now, I know that I'm not
All that you've 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]
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun
[Chorus]
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun
[Bridge]
Carry me home tonight (Na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na)
Just carry me home tonight (Na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na)
Carry me home tonight (Na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na)
Just carry me home tonight (Na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na)
[Bridge]
The moon is on my side (Na-na-na-na, na-na)
I have no reason to run (Na-na-na-na, na-na)
So will someone come and carry me home tonight? (Na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na)
The angels never arrived (Na-na-na-na, na-na)
But I can hear the choir (Na-na-na-na, na-na)
So will someone come and carry me home? (Na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na)
[Chorus]
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun
[Chorus]
Tonight
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun
[Outro]
So if by the time
The bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home
Tonight
