between the bars

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 aroundanymore
that push and shove and won't bend to your will
i'll keep them still

Original de Elliott Smith, mas a versão de Metric e Madeline Peyroux são melhores.
