We Are Young by Glee Cast

We Are Young (Glee Cast Version) We Are Young by Glee Cast 

Lyrics:


"We Are Young"

Girl 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 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

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 a cup
'Cause I found someone to carry me home

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

(Whoa)

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

Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)

The world 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 let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

(We are young, yeah)

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  

Bio:

When Glee aired its pilot episode in May 2009, the show only attracted a fraction of the viewers who tuned in for American Idol, shown on the same channel only one hour prior. The numbers looked bleak, but Billboard's singles charts told a different story one week later, when the Glee version of Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" became a surprise Top Five hit. Performed during the pilot by the castmates themselves, the song eventually sold over 500,000 downloads and paved the way for Glee's success as a television show and recording entity. Columbia Records became Glee's official music partner that spring, and the show continued spawning hit singles when it returned in September for the full run of its first season. Of course, it didn't hurt that many of the actors had previously cut their teeth on Broadway, including Lea Michele (the star of Spring Awakening) and Matthew Morrison (the original Link Larkin in Hairspray). Such experience helped boost the performances on the show, and Columbia began gathering some of Glee's best songs for a series of albums, beginning with Glee: The Music, Vol. 1 in November 2009.
