ELLIOTT SMITH LYRICS - Between The Bars

"Between The Bars"



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



The people you you've been before

That you don't want around 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
