Between The Bars Lyrics
By Elliott Smith
Welcome to this Between The Bars Lyrics page where youll find the lyrics below, along with my acoustic guitar demo.
This song was released on the 1997 album Either/Or but it was never released as a single. Someone requested this song from me so I gave it a listen and liked the song. Smith of course died in Oct 2003 from what appears to be a suicide from 2 stab wounds to the chest. He had been suffering from depression, alcohol and drug issues. Elliott Smith was 34.
Between The Bars - Acoustic Demo
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 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 around anymore
That push ... and shove ... and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still
