[FINN]

Highway run

Into the midnight sun

Wheels go 'round and 'round

You're on my mind

[MERCEDES]

Restless hearts

Sleep alone tonight

Sending all my love

Along the wire

[FINN & MERCEDES]

And they say that the road ain't no place to start a family

Right down the line it's been you and me

And loving a music man ain't always what it's supposed to be

[MERCEDES]

Oh boy, you stand by me

[FINN & MERCEDES]

I'm forever yours

Faithfully

[MERCEDES]

Circus life

Under the big top world

[FINN & MERCEDES]

We all need the clowns

To make us smile

[MERCEDES]

Oh!

Through space and time

[FINN]

Through space and time

[FINN & MERCEDES]

Always another show

Wondering where I am, lost without you

And being a part ain't easy on this love affair

Two strangers learn to fall in love again

I get the joy of rediscovering you

[FINN]

Oh girl, you stand by me

[FINN & MERCEDES]

I'm forever yours

Faithfully

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

[FINN]

Faithfully

[NEW DIRECTIONS]

Oh oh oh oh

[MERCEDES]

Faithfully

[NEW DIRECTIONS]

Oh oh oh oh oh

[MERCEDES]

I'm still yours

[NEW DIRECTIONS]

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

[FINN with NEW DIRECTIONS]

Oh oh oh oh oh

[FINN & MERCEDES with NEW DIRECTIONS]

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

[MERCEDES]

I'm still yours!

[NEW DIRECTIONS]

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh

[FINN & MERCEDES with NEW DIRECTIONS]

Oh oh oh oh oh oh!

[NEW DIRECTIONS]

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

[FINN & MERCEDES]

I'm still yours!

Faithfully...

"You miss him?" I look at Quinn who does not look at me "I mean you tried everyday to take him from me and succeeded"

"I do not think it was Finn, Noah, or Jesse" She finally looks at me and I smile "I think I wanted something they had"

"Really?" I nod and she smiles brightly "I think I wanted something they had too"

I intertwine our hands and lay my head on her shoulder. This could be the first step toward being together. I just need to plan the best date ever. I wonder if I could be Beth's mom?

[NEW DIRECTIONS]

Any way you want it, that's the way you need it

Any way you want it (oooh)

[FINN]

She loves to laugh, she loves to sing, she does everything

She loves to move, she loves to groove, she loves the lovin' things

[KURT & (MERCEDES)]

It won't be long, yeah, 'til you're alone

When your lover (Lover), oh, he hasn't come home (Oooh)

'Cause he's lovin' (Lovin'), he's touchin' (Touchin')

(He's squeezin' another)

[NEW DIRECTIONS]

Any way you want it, that's the way you need it

Any way you want it (Any way you want it)

He said, any way you want it, that's the way you need it

Any way you want it (Oooh)

Na na na na na na, na na na na na

Na na na na na na, na na na na na

[PUCK]

I was alone, I never knew what good love could do

[FINN & ARTIE]

Then we touched, then we sang about the lovely things

[ARTIE & (MERCEDES)]

'Cause he's lovin' (Lovin'), he's touchin' (Touchin')

He's squeezin' another (Yeah, yeah)

[NEW DIRECTIONS]

Any way you want it, that's the way you need it

Any way you want it (Any way you want it)

He said, any way you want it, that's the way you need it

Any way you want it (Oooh)

Na na na na na na, na na na na na

Na na na na na na, na na na na na

Any way you want it, that's the way you need it

Any way you want it (Any way you want it)

He said, any way you want it, that's the way you need it

Any way you want it (Yeah yeah)

Any way you want it, that's the way you need it

Any way you want it...

Na na na na na na, na na na na na

Na na na na na na, na na na na na...

Any way you want it, that's the way you need it!

"They have Kurt and Artie going too far" I nod and Quinn jolts forward some "Oh god that hurt"

"Are you ok?" She nods but jolts again "Quinn?"

"I am fine" She gives me an obviously fake smile "I will be fine! Just focus on the show ok?"

I nod but I can not really focus on the show.

(Lyrics from genius)

[NEW DIRECTIONS]

Da, da, da, da... (Repeated until end of the song)

[FINN]

Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world

She took the midnight train goin' anywhere

[MERCEDES]

Just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit

He took the midnight train goin' anywhere

[FINN]

A singer in a smoky room

[MERCEDES]

A smell of wine and cheap perfume

[MERCEDES & FINN]

For a smile they can share the night

It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard

Their shadows searching in the night

Streetlight people, living just to find emotion

Hiding, somewhere in the night

[MERCEDES]

Workin' hard to get my fill

Everybody wants a thrill

[MERCEDES & FINN]

Payin' anything to roll the dice

Just one more time

[MERCEDES]

Some will win, some will lose

[MERCEDES & FINN]

Some are born to sing the blues

And oh, the movie never ends

It goes on and on and on and on

Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard

Their shadows searching in the night

Streetlight people, livin' just to find emotion

Hiding, somewhere in the night

[NEW DIRECTIONS]

Don't stop believin'

Hold on to that feelin'

Streetlight people

Don't stop believin'

Hold on to that feelin'

Streetlight people

Don't stop!

"Oh god!" This gets more attention toward Quinn "I...I think my water just broke! Oh god!"

"We need to get Quinn out of here now!" I try to help her up but she stops me "What are you doing?"

"You all have to stay and compete" I go to argue but she stops me "If there is no trophy by our baby then there will be no date soon!"

I stop when she said our baby. She said our baby talking about Beth. I watch Judy help her with some people out. I look at Santana who has worry in her eyes and a smirk on her lips.

"So your guys baby huh?" I smack her arm and she chuckles "Let's go down and win for your baby"

I nod and we all go down to the stage. Giselle is up first for us. I am glad I am not doing the solo. I do not think my brain can focus enough.

-Giselle singing-

You would not believe your eyes

If ten million fireflies

Lit up the world as I fell asleep

'Cause they'd fill the open air

And leave teardrops everywhere

You'd think me rude

But I would just stand and stare

I'd like to make myself believe

That planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

'Cause everything is never as it seems

'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs

From ten thousand lightning bugs

As they tried to teach me how to dance

A foxtrot above my head

A sock hop beneath my bed

A disco ball is just hanging by a thread

(Thread, thread...)

I'd like to make myself believe

That planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

'Cause everything is never as it seems

(When I fall asleep)

Leave my door open just a crack

(Please take me away from here)

'Cause I feel like such an insomniac

(Please take me away from here)

Why do I tire of counting sheep?

(Please take me away from here)

When I'm far too tired to fall asleep

(Ha-ha)

To ten million fireflies

I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes

I got misty eyes as they said farewell

(Said farewell)

But I'll know where several are

If my dreams get real bizarre

'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar

(Jar, jar, jar...)

I'd like to make myself believe

That planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

I'd like to make myself believe

That planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

I'd like to make myself believe

That planet Earth turns slowly

It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep

Because my dreams are bursting at the seams

"Tell Judy to try and livestream it to Quinn!" Jesse runs over holding a camera "I have access and am having it stream now!"

Mom nods and walks away with her phone. Tina and Mike are following up Giselle. She did an amazing job out there. I can not wait for our big finale.

The crowd loses it more and we all come out. It is time for our final number. The one we have practiced the most. The one that will get us the win.

I hope Quinn is watching us now.

To be continued.
