Eliot Smith - between the bars drink up, baby, stay up all night
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
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
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
that push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them stillAs well I updated the Music section with audio playable from your web-browser. Hopefully this will go with the lyrics posted.
You will make it
Posted by Hoang at Go to bed everything's alright
Don't know the whole world's changing
As you sleep through the night
Wake up slowly and it's a different world
Hear the news and the floods begin
Screams so loud but only felt within
Heart is shattered
The pieces can't be found
I feel your pain, I wrote this song for you, for you
You will make it, you will make it through
I promise you, he would want you to
Months go by, still living in a daze
Don't know what you've done
With the last seven days
Soul is numb and life is like a dream
Helping hands but you push them away
How could they understand
Don't wanna share your pain
Afraid to heal, 'cause that would be goodbye
I feel your pain, I wrote this song for you, for you
You will make it, you will make it through
I promise you, she would want you to

One day sunlight hits a photograph
And it makes you smile
The memories dance around you now
And they make you smile
You're not alone
You'll never be
Just like the stars
They oversee
And they whisper to you
You're still, you're still,
You're still, you're still alive
I feel your pain, I wrote this song for you, for you
You will make it, you will make it through
I promise you, they would want you to
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am the sun on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there; I did not die
God Bless This Mess Daddy's in the hallway
Hanging pictures on the wall
Mama's in the kitchen
Making casseroles for all
My brother came home yesterday
From somewhere far away
He doesn't look like I remember
He just stares off into space
He must've seen some ugly things
He just can't seem to say
God bless this mess
God bless this mess
Got a job in town
Selling insurance on the phone
With Robert and Teresa
And two con men from back home
Everyone I call up doesn't have the time to chat
Everybody is so busy doing this and doing that
Something has gone missing
And it makes me kinda sad, oh
God bless this mess
God bless this mess
God bless this mess
Heard about the day
that two skyscrapers came down
Firemen, policemen
And people came from all around
The smoke covered the city
And the body count arise
The president spoke words of comfort
With tears in his eyes
Then he led us as a nation
Into a war all based on lies, oh
God bless this mess
God bless this mess There are twenty years to go
And twenty ways to know
Who'll wear, who'll wear the hat
There are twenty years to go
The best of all I hope
Enjoy the ride
The medicine show
Thems the breaks
For we designer fakes
We need to concentrate on more than meets the eye
There are twenty years to go
The faithful and the low
The best of starts, the broken heart, the stone
There are twenty years to go
The punch drunk and the blow
The worst of starts, the mercy part, the phone
And thems the breaks
For we designer fakes
We need to concentrate on more than meets the eye
Thems the breaks
For we designer fakes
But it's you i take, cause you're the truth, not I
There are twenty years to go
A golden age I know
But all will pass will end too fast you know
There are twenty years to go
And many friends I hope
Though some may hold the rose
Some hold the rope
That's the end - and that's the start of it
That's the whole - and that's the part of it
That's the hide - and that's the heart of it
That's the long - and that's the short of it
That's the best - and that's the test in it
That's the doubt - the doubt, the trust in it
That's the sight - and that's the sound of it
That's the gift - and that's the trick in it
You're the truth, not I, you're the truth, not I
You're the truth, not I, you're the truth, not I
You're the truth, not I, you're the truth, not I
You're the truth, not I, You're the truth, not I. Change your heart
Look around you
Change your heart
It will astound you
I need your lovin'
Like the sunshine
Everybody's gotta learn sometime
Everybody's gotta learn sometime
Everybody's gotta learn sometime
Change your heart
Look around you
Change your heart
It will astound you
I need your lovin'
Like the sunshine
Everybody's gotta learn sometime
Everybody's gotta learn sometime
Everybody's gotta learn sometime
I need your lovin'
Like the sunshine
Everybody's gotta learn sometime Standing at the punch table swallowing punch
can’t pay attention to the sound of anyone
a little more stupid, a little more scared
every minute more unprepared
I made a mistake in my life today
everything I love gets lost in drawers
I want to start over, I want to be winning
way out of sync from the beginning
I wanna hurry home to you
put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god I’m very, very frightening
I’ll overdo it
Looking for somewhere to stand and stay
I leaned on the wall and the wall leaned away
Can I get a minute of not being nervous
and not thinking of my dick
My leg is sparkles, my leg is pins
I better get my shit together, better gather my shit in
You could drive a car through my head in five minutes
from one side of it to the other
I wanna hurry home to you
put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god I’m very, very frightening
I’ll overdo it
You know I dreamed about you
for twenty-nine years before I saw you
You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for
for twenty-nine years I think I should go now
I'm asleep before my red eyes match the sunrise
No more coffee will put off the day
It's still too long
In the shadow of a doubt I need some sun
It seems the time has turned to me once more
But I have less now than before
And when I feel my world falling down
I think of you
And when I feel I can't breathe no more
You speak to me
When the body's dark
Smiled it's square shoulders with the night
Relit the glowing embers of my own life
Do you know?
Your word could drag the moon down from the sky
Seduce my frozen heart with your war cry
You really made me listen for my voice
And I have millions
And when I feel my world falling down
I think of you
And when I feel I can't breathe no more
You speak to me
When you fell
A single visionary thought befriends your blood
Crimson lovers drowing in the sun flow
I miss the beauty of your young black skin
I thought that freedom
Can only be defined as endless choice
And I only listen to the logic of the loudest voice
But this world... will be shaken by a whisper
But this world...
(And I will live with integrity)
Will be shaken by a whisper
(The peace inside)
This world
(And I will live with all honesty)
Will be shaken by a whisper
(The peace inside)
(By a whisper)
