Elliott Smith - Between The Bars lyrics

drink up, baby, stay up all night

the things you could do, you won't but you might

the potential you'll be that you'll never see

the promises you'll only make

drink up with me now and forget all about the pressure of days

do what i say and i'll make you okay and drive them away

the images stuck in your head

people you've been before that you don't want around anymore

that push and shove and won't bend to your will

i'll keep them still

drink up, baby, look at the stars, i'll kiss you again

between the bars where i'm seeing you

there with your hands in the air waiting to finally be caught

drink up one more time and i'll make you mine

keep you apart deep in my heart separate from the rest

where i like you the best

and keep the things you forgot

the people you've been before that you don't want around anymore

that push and shove and won't bend to your will

i'll keep them still
