Lyrics
Drink up baby
Stay up all night
The things that you 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
Forget all about
The pressures of day's
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
They push, 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
Your hands in the air
Waiting to finally be caught
Drink up one more time
And I'll make you mind
Keep you apart
Deep in my heart
Separate from the rest
Where I like you the best
I'll keep the things you forgot
People you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
They push, shove
Won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still
