Lyrics
Rachel:
We could just go home right now
Or maybe we could stick around
For just one more drink, oh yeah
Get another bottle out
Let's shoot the breeze
Sit back down
For just one more drink, oh yeah
Here's to us
Here's to love
All the times
That we messed up
Here's to you
Fill the glass
Cause the last few days
Have gone too fast
So lets give em hell
Wish everybody well
Here's to us
Here's to us
We stuck it out this far together
Put our dreams through the shredder
Let's toast cause things got better
And everything could change like that
And all these years go by so fast
But nothing lasts forever
Rachel with New Direction Girls:
Here's to us
Here's to love
All the times
That we messed up
Here's to you
Fill the glass
Rachel:
Cause the last few nights
Have gone too fast
Rachel with New Direction Girls:
If they give you hell
Tell em to forget themselves
Here's to us
Here's to us
Rachel (New Direction Boys harmonizing):
Here's to all that we kissed
And to all that we missed
To the biggest mistakes
That we just wouldn't trade
Rachel with New Direction Girls:
To us breaking up
Without us breaking down
To whatever's comin' our way
Rachel:
Here's to us
Here's to us!
New Direction Girls:
Here's to us
Here's to love
All the times
That we messed up
Rachel with New Direction Girls:
Here's to you
Fill the glass
Rachel:
Cause the last few days
Have gone too fast
Rachel with New Direction Girls:
So let's give em hell
Wish everybody well
Rachel:
Well!
New Direction Girls:
Here's to us
Here's to love
Rachel with New Direction Girls:
All the times
That we messed up
Here's to you
Fill the glass
Cause the last few nights
Have gone too fast
If they give you hell
Tell em forget themselves
Rachel:
Here's to us
New Direction Girls:
Here's to us
Rachel:
Oh here's to us
New Direction Girls:
Here's to us
Rachel with New Direction Girls:
Here's to us
Here's to love
(ND: Here's to us)
Rachel:
Wish everybody well
Rachel with New Direction Girls:
Here's to us
Here's to love
Here's to us
Rachel:
Here's to us
Reception
Reviewers of "Here's to Us" differed on what they felt worked and didn't. Lynch said the song "seemed the wrong fit" for Rachel—"not horrible, but a misfire"—and gave it a "B−". Chaney was more critical of the song itself when she gave her "C+" grade and described it as "so bland" that it "had little emotional impact" despite Michele's "determined ferocity". Votta called the number "pretty" but said the placement of the boys in the balconies was "cute but not really compelling as a staged performance". Slezak stated that it was "hard to find any fault with Lea Michele's vocal performances" and gave it a "B+", and Futterman wrote, "It's bouyant and celebratory, and Rachel kills it."Source
