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:
So if by the time
The bar closes

Sam and Quinn:
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home

Finn with New Directions:
Tonight
We are young

Finn and Rachel with New Directions:
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun

Santana and Mercedes with New Directions:
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

Finn and Rachel with New Directions:
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun! (Mercedes: Whoa!)

Santana and Mercedes with New Directions:
Tonight
We are young (New Directions: We are young!)
So let's set the world on fire (New Directions: Fire!)
We can burn brighter (New Directions: Brighter!)
Than the sun!

Quinn with New Directions harmonizing:
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
Carry me home tonight (Finn with New Directions: The world is on my side, I have no reason to run)
Just carry me home tonight (Finn with New Directions: So will someone come and carry me home tonight)
Carry me home tonight (Santana with New Directions: The angels never arrived but I can hear the choir)
Just carry me home tonight (Santana with New Directions: So will someone come and carry me home)

Rachel:
Tonight
We are young

Rachel with Finn:
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter
Than the sun

Mercedes:
We are young!

Santana with New Directions:
Tonight (Mercedes: Yeah!)
We are young (New Directions: We are young!)

Santana and Mercedes with New Directions:
So let's set the world on fire (New Directions: Fire!)
We can burn brighter (New Directions: Brighter!)
Than the sun

Finn and Rachel:
So if by the time
The bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry
You home
Tonight

Trivia

  • This song showcases Rachel's 100th solo in any performance on Glee.
  • This is the third time New Directions sing a celebratory song after a Sectionals competition, with My Life Would Suck Without You in Sectionals and Dog Days Are Over in Special Education.
  • The cloud backdrop is the same used in the performance of Dog Days Are Over, which was also sung after winning their Sectionals competition. Just like the performance of Dog Days Are Over, this one is also performed in the auditorium and ended in a group hug.
  • First time New Directions breaks the 13-member barrier (and second time to break 12 after Kurt returns in Born This Way). As of the end of this song, they stand at 15 members.

Errors

  • Brittany and Santana are seen holding hands, but the next shot they are not. Also, Brittany goes from standing with Rory, to hugging Mike then back to standing with Rory. This action repeats itself twice.
  • Kurt is seen walking towards MercedesSantanaBrittany, and Sugar as if to greet them with ArtieRory, and Quinn but when the scene cuts to them walking away, Kurt is not seen with them.
  • When Brittany and Rory are seen hugging, and Rory spins Brittany around. A second, or two, later, they are seen putitng each other's hands over each other's shoudlers, and holding hands with their spare hands. This is done way too fast to be possible.
