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 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 the 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'
