My favorite song so far!! - We Are Young.

I believe the first time I heard this song is at the radio station. I was driving the car and this song made me feel so relax and happy..

Here is the song lyrics.
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

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

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

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

The world 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

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

I thought of this as a song more about innocence than domestic abuse.
Such as in the line "I know I gave it to you months ago, I know you're trying to forget"
It seemed to me more about a guy apologizing to this girl about taking her innocence and hurting her really bad, and wishing he could take it all back because it wasn't worth it to him.
Saying "So if by the time the bar closes and you feel like falling down I'll carry you home tonight" he is trying to make up for what he did to her by being there for her instead, and perhaps she is drinking away her sorrow over it? Trying to rid herself of the painful memories with drugs and alcohol...
This song it's about life, and living it to the fullest. It's about having a strong relationship with people and having their backs no matter what. Even you make a mistakes with those people you know they will always be there for you. Not everything is about sex.
It's saying go out set the world on fire, burn brightly in that moment but make sure help each other all get home safely so you can do it another time. Have fun but be responsible and if you make a mistake learn to get past it and forgive each other because even if you fall down you're going to need each other to lean on so you carry them or they can carry you home.
