LYRICS FOR LIGHT UP THE WORLD - you and me keep on dancing in the dark-Its been tearing me apart, never knowing what we are- you and me keep on trying to play it cool-Now it's time to make a move and that's what I'm gonna do-Lay it all down, got something to say-Lay it all down, throw your doubt away-Do or die now, step onto the plate-Blow the door wide open, like up, up and away-Let's light up the world tonight-You gotta give up the bark and bite-I know that we got the love alright-Come on and light it up, light it up tonight-Let's light up the world tonight-You gotta give up the bark and bite-I know that we got the love alright-Come on and light it up, light it up tonight- you and me turn it up ten thousand watts-Tell me why we've gotta stop, I just wanna let it rock- you and me keep on staring at the road-Like we don't know where to go, step back, let me take control
I never really listened to the words before, but they go with PRETENDING. I would have to say Adams Anders is a genius. He wrote both and it fit that episode perfectly. Okay I'm rambling but I just noticed this and had to share.
As always my fictions are chalked full of Finchel Smut. If you can't handle it this is not for you.
Honor the Tether! Remember the Drummer!
Chapter Seven: Sunday Afternoon
Rachel had woken up early in anticipation for the day. Even though she knew today was going to be an emotional one, she slept fairly well. Knowing what she need Finn to hear and understand. She took a shower put on some yoga pants and a big shirt over her tank top. Her hair was pinned simply in a ponytail on top of her head. She refrained from makeup; she'd be crying so what was the point.
Once she was certain she looked presentable, she went to the kitchen to prepare a simple lunch of grilled cheese for him, humus for her. She was just gonna nibble her stomach was in knots.
Finn woke up with a new purpose. He had to make it right with Rachel. In the deepest parts of his mind he hoped they could become a couple again. He wasn't holding too tight to that. He knows he hurt Rachel in an extreme way. He will take her friendship if she'll let him have that. He needs her in anyway she'll give him. He has no doubt anymore that he loves her and she him. He wants her to be happy; so if being her friend is how she will be happy then he will do that.
Once he was ready in his simple jeans and black V-neck t-shirt he grabbed his keys and was hopping in his truck when the door to the house opened revealing Burt. Burt walked over to the truck and spoke "How you doing?"
Finn looked at him curiously. "Good, you?"
Burt sighed and continued "Finn, I want you to be happy. You are my son now and I know over the last few months you've had it rough and made bad choices and your mom and I have been tough on you. But I just wanted you to know that over the last week, I've seen the resurgent of the real Finn and I'm proud you've stepped up and changed the road you were headed down."
Finn pulled Burt into a hug then released him "Thanks Burt, it means...I mean...yeah"
Burt shook his hand then started back to the house "Get your girl" he called back to Finn. Finn smiled and drove away.
