Between the Bars -
by Elliott Smith
| 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 |
