Between the BarsChris Garneau

Producer: Duncan Sheik

[Verse 1]
Drink up, baby
Stay up all night
Oh, the things you could do
You won't, but you might
The potential you'll be
But you'll never see
The promises you'll only make
Drink up with me now
And forget all about
The pressure of days
And do what I say
And I'll make you okay
And drive them away
The images stuck in your head

[Chrous]
The people you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
Or they push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still

[Verse 2]
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
You're waiting to finally be caught
Drink up one more time
And I'll make you mine
I'll keep you apart
Deep in my heart
Separate from the rest
Where I like you the best
And keep the things you forgot

[Chorus]
The people you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
Or they push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
The people you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
Or they push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still

[Outro]
Oh-oh

Chris Garneau

Chris Garneau entered the New York music scene in 2006 with his debut album Music for Tourists, first released on Absolutely Kosher Records. He was brought to the label by Jamie Stewart and Caralee McElroy of Xiu Xiu. The album was later released in Europe and Asia. Vincent Moon shot Garneau in his Take-Away Show series which earned the singer-songwriter worldwide visibility, and special attention in France where the session was shot.

Garneau later released C-Sides EP (2007), El Radio LP (2009), and Winter Games LP (2013) on various labels in North America, Europe, China, Japan, South Korea, and Brazil — markets where he has toured extensively and shared the stage with Xiu Xiu, Jose Gonzalez, Keren Ann, My Brightest Diamond, Joan as Policewoman, Camera Obscura, among many others. Garneau opened for Charlotte Gainsbourg at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 2010.

He has also landed over 30 synch placements for film, television, and advertising (including Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice, Dream Corp LLC, and others). His cover of Elliott Smith’s ‘Between the Bars’ was featured in Pedro Almodóvar’s ‘The Skin I Live In’.
