[Verse: Nate Ruess]
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, 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, 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
We can burn brighter than the Sun

[Drop]

[Post-Drop: Nate Ruess]
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, 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, Sun

[Drop]

[Post-Drop: Nate Ruess]
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight
Toni-i-ight, ah
Tonight, tonight, tonight
