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
but 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 ok
drive them away
the images stuck in your head
the people you've been before that you don't want around anymore
they 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
they push, and shove, and won't bend to your will
i'll keep them still


It's hard to admit that there are things that could be better, that life's not always great, and that sometimes you need help. This was my realization that things were going downhill, and it was rolling so fast my head was spinning. I guess this is here for no reason other than the fact that I asked for help because I saw other people asking for it, and I knew it was okay. I needed that. All I want you to know is that it's okay.
