[Verse: Nate Ruess]
Gi-Gi-Gi-Gi-Give me a second I, I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom getting high-high-high-high (High, high, high)
My lover, she is waiting for me just across the bar
My seat's been taken by some sunglasses askin' 'bout a scar
And I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you're tryin' to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things, the holes in my apologies, you know
I'm tryin' hard to take it back-back, back

[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

[Drop: Nate Ruess]
Yeah, yeah, tonight
Yeah, yeah, we are young
Yeah, yeah, set the-set the–, set–
Fire, fire (Fire)
We are, we-we-we are–
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, night
Yeah, we are young
Young, young
Tonight, toni-i-ight, ah
Tonight, tonight, tonight
[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-than the Sun-than the Sun, Sun-Sun-Sun-Sun-Sun, Suuuuuuun

[Drop: Nate Ruess]
Yeah, yeah, tonight
Yeah, yeah, we are young
Yeah, yeah, set the-set the–, set–
Fire, fire (Fire)
We are, we-we-we are–
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, night
Yeah, we are young
Young, young
Yo-o-uo-o-o-u-uh, young, young, young, young (Oh)
