fun. - We Are Young

14Copied!

{Verse 1: Nate Ruess}
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's waiting for me just across the bar
My seat's been taken by some sunglasses asking 'bout a scar
And I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you're trying to forget it
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies
You know, 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

{Chorus: Nate Ruess}
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

{Verse 2: Nate Ruess}
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 our friends are back
So let's raise the cup
'Cause I found someone to carry me home

{Chorus: Nate Ruess}
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

{Interlude: Janelle Monáe}
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight

{Bridge: Nate Ruess}
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?

{Chorus: Nate Ruess}
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

{Outro: Nate Ruess}
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home tonight

Biography

edit bio

Fun. (often stylized as fun.) is an American indie pop band comprising of Nate Ruess, formerly of The Format, Andrew Dost (Anathallo) and Jack Antonoff (Steel Train). Over the course of seven years, fun. has released two albums: their debut Aim and Ignite in 2009 and their latest Some Nights in February, 2012.

Armed with anthemic, towering lyrics and electric vocals, fun. is among the most recent crop of indiepop bands to cross into the mainstream. fun.’s success is attributed most majorly to the youthful “We Are Young” featuring Janelle Monáe. A smash on the Billboard Hot 100 after a memorable cover on Glee, the song is arguably fun.’s most defining track. Yet their discography has layers of depth past “Young” – the experimental “Stars,” the existential “Some Nights” (which also received significant commercial success), the nihilistic “Barlights,” the persevering “Carry On” – fun. is definitely a lyrically poignant and musically delectable group.

As of 2015, the group is on hiatus, with each member off working on solo projects. Lead singer Ruess released his solo debut, Grand Romantic, in June of the same year; guitarist Antonoff formed Bleachers and released Strange Desire in July 2014; Dost composed the soundtrack to the Jack-Black-led comedy, The D Train.
