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 back seat
As if you'd committed a terrible crimeI'd break in a town's worth of houses
And rob whole families blind
I'd do it to you like you do it to me
If you knew you would get away fineI'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
To let a piece of myself dieIt's hard to be the better man
When you forget you're trying
It's hard to be the better manI'd arrest you if I had handcuffs
I'd arrest you if I had time
I'd wait for you outside the courtroom
Taunting when all your appeals were declinedI'd drive my car off of a bridge
If I knew that you weren't inside
With a pedal to the floor who could ask for more
A fantastic way to kill some timeAnd you could lay on your back and be beaten
You could put up your fists and fight
You could try and be way up
Way up, way up, way up
Way up, way up, way upIt's hard be the better man
When you forget you're trying
It's hard to be the better man
When you're still lyingIt'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
