Madeleine Peyroux - Between the Bars lyrics

rate me

( 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<br><br>Thanks to thudord
