Between the bars
by Elliott 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
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´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
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´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
