    The song describes a night out partying with friends. In the first verse, the singer's friends are in the bathroom getting high while his lover waits for him at the bar. However, his seat has been taken by someone asking about a past mistake. In the chorus, the singer says that as long as they have each other, they can "set the world on fire" and "burn brighter than the sun." In the second verse, the singer knows he is not all his lover has, but hopes they can find new ways to be together. The choruses are repeated with backing vocals added. In the bridge, the singer asks someone to carry him home that night. The choruses are repeated again to end the song

    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
    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 a toast
    '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 2: 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
