Thursday at Glee club practice:
"OK guys, let's get started, and wait a minute, where's Scott?" Will asked. "He's not here." Bree said. "Did anyone see him come in to school today?" Kitty asked. Everyone shook their heads. "I'm worried about him." Kitty said beginning to cry. "Don't worry Kitty, if it makes you feel better Quinn and I will have a chat with him after school." Blaine offered. "Thanks." Kitty said.
"Alright who wants to start things off today?" Will asked. "I would Mr. Schue." Mike said. "I'd like to sing with Artie." "Let's do it man, but first, I need a guitar. I want to jam." Artie said. Sam & Will got Artie & Mike guitars and with that, the two began to sing:
(Bold is Mike, Italics is Artie, Underlined text is them singing together):
Whooo umm yeah
Life is like a road that you travel on
When there's one day here and the next day gone
Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the wind
There's a world outside every darkened door
Where blues will not haunt you anymore
Where the brave are free and lovers soar
Come ride with me to the distant shore
We won't hesitate
To break down the garden gate
There's not much time left today
Life is a highway
I want to ride it all night long
If you are going my way
I want to drive it all night long
Through all these cities and all these towns
It's in my blood and it's all around
I love you now like I loved you then
This is the road and these are the hands
From Mozambique to those Memphis nights
The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights
Knock me down get back up again
You are in my blood
I am not a lonely man
There's no load I can't hold
Road so rough this I know
I will be there when the light comes in
Just tell them we are survivors
Life is a highway
I want to ride it all night long
If you are going my way
I want to drive it all night long
Give me give me give me give me yeah
Life is a highway
I want to ride it all night long
If you are going my way
I want to drive it all night long
There was a distance between you and I (between you and I)
A misunderstanding once
But now we look it in the eye
Ooh, yeah
There ain't no load that I can't hold
The roads are rough, this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Just tell them we're survivors
Life is a highway
I want to ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long
Give me give me give me give me yeah
Life is a highway
I want to ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I want to drive it all night long
Come on. Give me give me give me give me yeah
Life is a highway
I wanna ride it all night long
Yeah, I wanna drive it all night long, baby
If you're going my way
I wanna drive it all night long
"Yeah!" The Glee club applauded Mike & Artie's performance. "Nice job guys." Sam said. "Way to rock!" Roderick exclaimed. "OK, who's next?" Will asked. "I'll go Mr. Schue." Unique said. "Mercedes, can you give me a hand?" "I'd love to." Mercedes replied joyfully. "Take it away girls." Sam said. Unique & Mercedes began to sing:
(Bold is Mercedes, Italics in Unique, Underlined text is them both singing together):
And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out 'cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now 'cause you don't have another day
'Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love but it came too soon
And there was me and you
And then we got real blue
Stay at home talking on the telephone
And we would get so excited and we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends forever
So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends forever
We will still be friends forever
Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us around?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends forever
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends forever
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever
We will still be
Friends forever
