"Between The Bars" lyrics
(originally by Elliott Smith)
Drink up, baby, stay up all night
With 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
You don't want them around anymore
They 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
When 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
I'll keep you apart, deep in my heart
Separate from the rest, where I like you the best
And keep the things you forgot
People you've been before
You don't want them around anymore
They push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still
With 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
You don't want them around anymore
They 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
When 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
I'll keep you apart, deep in my heart
Separate from the rest, where I like you the best
And keep the things you forgot
People you've been before
You don't want them around anymore
They push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still
