Brand New - Handcuffs

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'd committed a terrible crime I'd break in a town's worth of houses And rob whole families blind I’d do it to you like you'd do it to me If you 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 trying 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 when all your appeals were declined I’d drive my car off of a bridge If I knew that you weren’t inside With the pedal to the floor, who could ask for a more 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 and be way off It’s hard to be the better man When you forget you’re trying It’s hard to be the better man When you’re still lying It’s hard to be the better man When you forget you’re trying It’s hard to be the better man When you’re still lying You’re still lying
