Little change of the heart
Little light in the dark
Finn changed his mind again. And Puck's eyes were opened to the fact that his friend would constantly rip Rachel's heart out because he would forever go back and forth unless one of the girls told him to stop. But Quinn was both stronger and weaker, Strong enough to stand the heartbreak, weak enough to never bother fighting going back to him. Rachel's eyes were opened to the fact that Finn only really wanted her when he couldn't have her. Her heart turned sad and blue.
Little hope that you just might find
Your way up out of here
Puck hoped that when Rachel went to New York, like she'd always dreamed of, that her thing with Finn would finally end.
'Cause you've been hiding for days
Wasted and wasting away
But then she spent days holed up in her room, not talking to anyone. So Puck went with Kurt to go check on her. He heard her Dad whisper to the other one that she's thinking about giving up New York in hopes that Finn might take her back if she did.
But I got a little hope today
You'll face your fears
The next day, he made her come out and spend the day with him, Kurt and Blaine, all of new directions that knew they wanted to end up in New York. And they wanted to end up there together.
Yeah, I know it's not easy
I know that it's hard
Follow the lights to the city
She laughed and slowly, slowly became Rachel Berry again.
Get up and go
Take a chance and be strong
But Puck still saw her wanting Finn, While he wanted her all to himself. He wants to tell her this but has already been rejected by Berry so many times, he doesn't feel strong enough.
Or you could spend your whole life holding on
Will she spend her whole life holding on to Finn? Will he spend his whole life holding onto his fear of being rejected once again?
Don't look back; just go
Take a breath, move on
She plans for New York. He plans for their future. He has enough money saved for the down payment on an apartment.
Or you could spend your whole life holding on
You could spend your whole life holding on
But she still doesn't know. And She still sent in an application to Ohio State, where Finn is going.
Believe the tunnel can end
Believe your body can mend
Puck knows that here feelings for Finn will dissipate. She knows that the pain of watching him and Quinn together will someday end. They both believe the scars on their hearts will heal
Yeah, I know you can make it through
'Cause I believe in you
She sees him smiling at Quinn like she's the sun and moon, and her smile like that right back. Puck sees her watch them. Puck believes that its only a mater of time. Kurt starts on plan "get puckerman's mojo going so he'll ask her out already."
So let's go put up a fight
Let's go make everything all right
Finn asks to kiss her one more time. She says NO. Puck finds Rachel in the auditorium and sits next to her and just listens.
Go on take a shot
Go give it all you got
He tells her about the money for an apartment. She tells him that she thinks it's a great idea… for the four of them to share an apartment.
Oh, yeah, I know it's not easy
I know that it's hard
No, it's not always pretty
So Puck leaves, knowing that she didn't get what he was suggesting. He's mad and Rachel doesn't know why. They don't talk for a while.
Get up and go
Take a chance and be strong
She apologizes. He stares at her for a while, knowing he should say how he feels, or better yet, sweep her into a kiss right then. But will he have to deal with rejection?
Or you could spend your whole life holding on
Don't look back; just go
He smiles and then lets go of his fear. "I love you Rachel. Real, honest to goodness, since like second grade, love you."
Take a breath, move on
She takes a breath of surprise. She thinks of Finn. She looks at his face, and kisses him.
Or you could spend your whole life holding on
You could spend your whole life holding on
They decide to wait to tell people. He's still holding on to the fact that this might only last a week. She's still holding on to the Fact that Finn had told her he loved her to.
Don't wanna wake up to the telephone ring
Finn calls her. And tells her to move on. And that he's marrying Quinn, this spring.
Are you sitting down?
I need to tell you something
She calls Puck. "I need to tell you something."
Enough is enough
You can stop waiting to breathe
And don't wait up for me
"I'm done waiting for Finn, or Any other boy. I'm going to the city the day after graduation. Come with me, Or don't."
Get up and go
Take a chance and be strong
Kurt tells him to go. Mike, Blaine, Satan, Britt, everyone tells him to go.
Or you could spend your whole life holding on
Don't look back; just go
His Ma and sister tell him to go or he will regret it forever. His little sisters exact words "Just GO. Don't think about it. Just Go."
Take a breath, move on
Or you could spend your whole life holding on
But some people tell him its foolish to waste his time on a girl he isn't even officially dating.
Get up and go
Take a chance and be strong
She waits in the airport terminal. It doesn't look like he's coming. A nasally voice tells them that it's the final boarding call. She turns to leave.
Or you could spend your whole life holding on
Don't look back; just go
A voice makes her turn, he grabs her hands. "I'm done holding on. I'm going. How bout you baby?" She smiles "My heart mind and soul are telling me to go."
Take a breath, move on
Or you could spend your whole life holding on
You could spend your whole life holding on
They could have spent their whole lives clinging to nothing. Now they look at each other in the plane as the city lights come into view.
Don't spend your whole life holding on
They kiss each other, knowing that this is where they are meant to be, and they are meant to be there together. Both of them are thinking about how glad they are that they let themselves go.
