Between The Bars Lyrics - Elliot 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, forget all about 

The pressure of days, do what I say 

And I'll make you okay, drive them away 

The image is 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 

Ill 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 

Keep the things you forgot 

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
