Between The Bars Lyrics

Between The Bars lyrics

( Elliott Smith )



Drink up, baby

Stay up all night

Things you could do

You won't but you might



The potential you'll be

You'll never see

Promises you'll only make

Drink up with me now

And forget all about

Pressure of days

Do what I say

And I'll make you okay

And drive them away

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.

And 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

And keep you apart

Deep in my heart

Separate from the rest

Where I like you the best

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
