What can be better than the passion of youth? The song We Are Young goes exactly about this. It is performed by Fun featuring Janelle Monáe. The song was released on 20 September, 2011 as the debut single from the band’s forthcoming sophomore studio album, entitled Some Nights. You could hear the cover version of We Are Young in one of the Glee episodes, “Hold On to Sixteen”. The cover version of the song debuted at position 12 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and topped the iTunes chart in December 2011. The original version appeared on the top later, in February this year, after featuring in the Chevy Sonic Super Bowl commercial.

Fun feat. Janelle Monae – We Are Young Song Words
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 seats 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
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
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
And I know that I’m not
all that you got
I guess that I
I just thought maybe we could find a ways to fall apart
But our friends in back
So let’s raise a toast
Cause I found someone to carry me home
Tonight
We are young
So let’s the 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
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
