With the things you could do
You won’t but you might
The potential you’ll be that you’ll never seeThe 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 headPeople 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 stillDrink 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 forgotPeople 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, stay up all night
Elliott Smith express a desire for connection and escape from past burdens. The speaker invites someone to drink and forget life’s pressures, emphasizing potential and love. They seek to distance their partner from negative influences while cherishing their unique bond, merging intimacy with the hope of a brighter future.
