Between The Bars Lyrics
[00:11.18] Drink up baby, stay up all night
[00:15.11] With the things you could do
[00:17.86] You won't but you might
[00:20.15] The potential you'll be that you'll never see
[00:25.86] The promises you'll only make
[00:30.32] Drink up with me now
[00:33.25] And forget all about the pressure of days
[00:38.74] Do what I say and I'll make you okay
[00:44.22] And drive them away
[00:46.84] The images stuck in your head
[00:52.20] People you've been before
[00:57.30] That you don't want around anymore
[01:02.91] That push and shove and won't bend to your will
[01:09.42] I'll keep them still
[01:14.13] Drink up baby, look at the stars
[01:18.49] I'll kiss you again, between the bars
[01:23.88] Where I'm seeing you there with your hands in the air
[01:29.37] Waiting to finally be caught
[01:34.05] Drink up one more time, and I'll make you mine
[01:40.10] Keep you apart, deep in my heart
[01:44.93] Separate from the rest, where I like you the best
[01:50.84] And keep the things you forgot
[01:56.26] People you've been before
[02:01.59] That you don't want around anymore
[02:06.78] That push and shove and won't bend to your will
[02:13.80] I'll keep them still
[02:16.46]
[00:15.11] With the things you could do
[00:17.86] You won't but you might
[00:20.15] The potential you'll be that you'll never see
[00:25.86] The promises you'll only make
[00:30.32] Drink up with me now
[00:33.25] And forget all about the pressure of days
[00:38.74] Do what I say and I'll make you okay
[00:44.22] And drive them away
[00:46.84] The images stuck in your head
[00:52.20] People you've been before
[00:57.30] That you don't want around anymore
[01:02.91] That push and shove and won't bend to your will
[01:09.42] I'll keep them still
[01:14.13] Drink up baby, look at the stars
[01:18.49] I'll kiss you again, between the bars
[01:23.88] Where I'm seeing you there with your hands in the air
[01:29.37] Waiting to finally be caught
[01:34.05] Drink up one more time, and I'll make you mine
[01:40.10] Keep you apart, deep in my heart
[01:44.93] Separate from the rest, where I like you the best
[01:50.84] And keep the things you forgot
[01:56.26] People you've been before
[02:01.59] That you don't want around anymore
[02:06.78] That push and shove and won't bend to your will
[02:13.80] I'll keep them still
[02:16.46]
