Between the Bars

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

Drive them away 

The image is 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

 But I like you the best

 Keep the things you forgot

 People you'be 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
