Brand New - Handcuffs lyrics
[Brand New - Handcuffs lyrics]
I'd arrest you if I had handcuffs
I'd arrest you if I had the time
I'd throw you down in the backseat
As if you committed a terrible crime
I'd break into towns worth of houses
And rob whole families blind
I'd do it to you like you'd do it to me
If I knew you would get away fine
I'd drown all these crying babies
If I knew that their mothers wouldn't cry
I'd hold them down and I'd squeeze real soft
And let a piece of myself die
It's hard to be the better man
When you forget you're tryin'
It's hard to be the better man
I'd arrest you if I had handcuffs
I'd arrest you if I had the time
I'd wait for you outside the
Courtroom and taunt you
As all of your appeals were declined
I'd drive my car off of a bridge
If I knew that you weren't inside
Put the pedal to the floor
Who could ask for more?
A fantastic way to kill some time
You could lay on your back and be beaten
You could put up your fists and fight
You could try any way out way out
Way out way out
It's hard to be the better man
When you forget you're tryin'
It's hard to be the better man
When you're still lyin'
It's hard to be the better man
When you forget you're tryin'
It's hard to be the better man
When you're still lyin' you're still lyin'
I'd arrest you if I had the time
I'd throw you down in the backseat
As if you committed a terrible crime
I'd break into towns worth of houses
And rob whole families blind
I'd do it to you like you'd do it to me
If I knew you would get away fine
I'd drown all these crying babies
If I knew that their mothers wouldn't cry
I'd hold them down and I'd squeeze real soft
And let a piece of myself die
It's hard to be the better man
When you forget you're tryin'
It's hard to be the better man
I'd arrest you if I had handcuffs
I'd arrest you if I had the time
I'd wait for you outside the
Courtroom and taunt you
As all of your appeals were declined
I'd drive my car off of a bridge
If I knew that you weren't inside
Put the pedal to the floor
Who could ask for more?
A fantastic way to kill some time
You could lay on your back and be beaten
You could put up your fists and fight
You could try any way out way out
Way out way out
It's hard to be the better man
When you forget you're tryin'
It's hard to be the better man
When you're still lyin'
It's hard to be the better man
When you forget you're tryin'
It's hard to be the better man
When you're still lyin' you're still lyin'
