Lyrics
Added by ElectraHeartFinn:
Well, I remember every little thing
As if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the lake
And there was not another car in sight
And I never had a girl
Looking any better than you did
And all the kids at school
They were wishing they were me that night
Puck with New Directions:
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
Kurt (and Blaine in show Version) with New Directions:
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
Blaine:
C'mon! (Mike: Hold tight!)
Oh c'mon! (Mike: Hold tight!)

Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night

I gotta know right now
Before we go any further

Will you love me forever?
Do you need me?
Will you never leave me?
Will you make me so happy
For the rest of my life?
Will you take me away
And will you make me your wife?

And I'll give you an answer in the morning

I couldn't take it any longer
Lord I was crazed
And when the feeling came upon me
Like a tidal wave
I started (swearing to my god)
And on my (mother's) grave
That I would (love you to the end of time)
I swore I would (love you to the end of time)
New Directions:
Ah, aah, aaah
Finn with New Directions:
So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
'Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I can really survive
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
Finn:
But God only knows what I can do right now
Finn with New Directions:
I'm praying for the end of time
It's all that I can do (Mercedes: All that I can do!)
Prayin' for the end of time
So I can end my time with you! (Mercedes: You! Yeah!)
Finn with New Directions (Rachel):
It was long ago and it was far away (It never felt so good, It never felt so right)
And it was so much better than it is today. (Mercedes: Is today!) (And we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife)
It was long ago and it was far away (It never felt so good, It never felt so right)
And it was so much better than it is today. (Mercedes: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!) (And we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife)
It was long ago and it was far away (It never felt so good, It never felt so right)

Felt so right!
Felt so good!
Paradise! (Mercedes: Paradise, yeah!)
