Elliot Smith Between The Bars Lyrics

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
