Rachel:
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, he's waiting for me
Just across the bar
My seat's been taken by some sunglasses
Asking 'bout a scar and

Finn:
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 trying hard to take it back

Sam (and Quinn):
So if by the time
The bar closes
(And you feel like falling down)
(I'll carry you home)

Finn with New Directions:
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!

Santana:
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

Rachel:
But our friends are back
So let's raise a cup
'Cause I found someone to carry me home

Finn with New Directions:
Tonight

We are young
So let's set the world on fire!
We can burn brighter,
