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

The people you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
Or 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
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

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

I'll keep them still
Oh-oh

Hi! I know we don't know each other, but I stumbled across your vid and I am completely in love. Even though I haven't seen any of the sources you drew footage from besides BBC Merlin (and Blade Runner), the story you are telling is so vivid that it spoke to me anyway. I love the pacing: the way the clips seem to be straining against the confines of the beat and the syncopated piano, the way time flows through the story...it's gorgeous.

Thank you so much. The music was so amazing and the images were perfect to work with.

I was wondering if you've heard the cover of that song by Madeleine Peyroux. It's a bit jazzier than the version you used, but it might be interesting in comparison.

I've been listening to that after you commented and I love it. Thank you.

Yay I'm so glad! It's one of my favorites of hers.
