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 shes waiting for me just across the bar
My seats been taken by some sunglasses asking bout a scar, and
I know I gave it to you months ago
I know youre trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies, you know
Im trying hard to take it back
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
Ill carry you home
Tonight
We are young
So lets set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So lets set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Now I know that Im 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 lets raise a glass
Cause I found someone to carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So lets set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So lets 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 lets set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Tonight
We are young
So lets 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
Ill carry you home tonight
Chorus:
Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
Ill give my all to you
Youre my end and my beginnin
Even when I lose, Im winnin
Right, right, turn off the lights
Were gonna lose our minds tonight
Whats the deal, yo?
I love when its all too much
5 a.m. turn the radio up
Wheres the rock n roll?
Party crasher, panty snatcher
Call me up if youre a gangsta
Dont be fancy, just get dancy
Why so serious?
So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways, all my underdogs
We will never be, never be anything but loud
And nitty, gritty, dirty, little freaks
Wontyou come on and come on and
Raise your glass!
Just come on and come on and
Raise your glass!"
Remember those walls I built?
Well, baby theyre tumbling down
And they didnt even put up a fight
They didnt even make a sound
I found a way to let you in
But, I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now
Its like Ive been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin
Its the risk that Im taking
I aint never gonna shut you out!
Everywhere Im looking now
Im surrounded by your embrace
Baby, I can see your halo
You know youre my saving grace
Youre everything I need and more
Its written all over your face
Baby, I can feel your halo
Pray it wont fade away
