The Next Week
"Okay everyone, I know we have done a lot of tribute weeks and I think this one is long overdue that we do a," Mr. Shue starts banging his hands on the piano for a drumroll, and the rest of the class joins in.
"Taylor Swift week!" He announces and some of them cheer, he turns and writes down her name and faces the class again.
"Excuse me, Mr. Shue?"
"What's up, Brittany?"
"What about the people here that don't want to do this week?"
"Why do you not want to do it?" He asked.
"When Santana broke up with me, she sang 'Mine' and it was pretty traumatic. I don't really want to relive it."
"I'm sorry Brittany, but I made the decision so we could better prepare for Regionals plus I got the idea from Lena, Blaine and Sam with the guilty pleasure last week."
"What do you mean?" Artie asked.
"Well, her songs have such a vast emotional range from sad to love to shaking off the haters. I want each of you to perform either with a partner or by yourself or in a small group, and for you to pick a song that can say what you are feeling in that moment or how you have been feeling. So I asked some of the guys to give us a taste of what I'm looking for. The floor is yours, guys." He said, he walked to one of the open seats.
"Thank you, Mr. Shue, I know the last time we sang together in here was when we fought over Kara but a lot has changed since then. So we wanted to sing this song for our lovely ladies." Jake announced.
"This is for you, Lena and Kara," Ryder said, the band began playing the song and a few moments later Ryder started singing.
"I know that you like me. And it's kinda frightening'. Standing here waiting', waitin' "
Jake danced around the room getting closer to Kara and continued the lines, "And I became hypnotized. By freckles and bright eyes. Tongue tied. But now. You're so far away and I'm down. Feeling' like a face in the crowd. I'm reaching' for you, terrified." Ryder joined him in rhythm with the song and tried to dance in his seat as he played the drums. They began singing together looking directly at their girlfriends.
" 'Cause, you could be the one that I love. I could be the one that you dream of. Message in a bottle is all I can do. Standin' here, hopin' it gets to you. You could be the one that I keep, and I. Could be the reason you can't sleep at night. Message in a bottle is all I can do. Standin' here, hopin' it gets to you." Jake steps away for Ryder to take the front stage.
"These days I'm restless. Work days are endless. Look how you've made me, made me. But time moves faster. Replaying your laughter. Disaster. 'Cause now. You're so far away and I'm down. Feelin' like a face in the crowd. I'm reachin' for you, terrified." Once Ryder was nearing the end of his solo, Jake walked over and wrapped an arm around his shoulder and Ryder followed.
" 'Cause you could be the one that I love. I could be the one that you dream of. Message in a bottle is all I can do. Standin' here, hopin' it gets to you (it gets to you). You could be the one that I keep, and I (I). Could be the reason you can't sleep at night. Message in a bottle is all I can do. Standin' here, hopin' it gets to you."
The class began to go along with the song and sang along.
"How is it in London? (London). Where are you while I'm wonderin' (wonderin'). If I'll ever see you again? You could be the one that I love, mm-mm. And now I'm standin' here, hopin' it gets to you. 'Cause you could be the one that I love
"I could be the one that you dream of. Message in a bottle is all I can do. Standin' here, hopin' it gets to you (it gets to you). You could be the one that I keep, and I. Could be the reason you can't sleep at night (you can't sleep at night). Message in a bottle is all I can do (yeah, yeah)
