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 a scar, and
 I know I gave it to you months ago;  I know you're trying to forget.
 But be-tween  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
 To-night, 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 a-part
 But our friends are back,  so let's raise a toast
 Cause I found someone to carry  me home
 To-night, we are young
 So let's set  the world  on fire;
 we can burn brighter
   ->
 than the sun
Carry  me home to-night
Carry  me home to-night
Carry  me home to-night
Carry  me home to-night
 (the following is sung over the part above)
 The moon is on my side,  I have no reason to run
 So will someone come and carry  me home tonight.
 The angels never 'rived,  but I can hear the choir
 So will someone come and carry  me home
 To-night, 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
