20 -We Are Young (Modern) [Lams+Mullet]

I just really like these song things-

Welp here's another one

I don't own the song

☀️

Alex sat on a stool, listening to the chaos of the bar. He winked at an already blushing Lafayette as his boyfriend led him into the bathroom.

Give me a second I
I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State

Alex's eyes caught the gaze of John, his own boyfriend, on the other side of the building.

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...

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 toast
'Cause I found someone to carry me home

Lafayette and Hercules returned, drunk and blushing like crazy. Alex hopped off the stool and joined the trio of his friends, bringing them together again. Raising their glasses they drank together, laughing as they remembered the year before when they had all graduated college, and the crazy things they did.

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

Alex same out a line, John, Laf, and Herc providing the background vocals, their slurred speech and mixmatched vocals harmonizing.

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

The moon is on my side (Nananananana)
I have no reason to run (Nananananana)
So will someone come and carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
The angels never arrived (Nananananana)
But I can hear the choir (Nananananana)
So will someone come and carry me home (Nananananana)

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

So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home tonight

It was dark outside, almost midnight. A lone street lamp illuminated the four friends, arms slung around each other's backs, drunkenly laughing and talking.

Eh
