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 committed a terrible crime

We break into towns worth of houses
And rob whole families blind
I'd do it to you like you do it to me
If I knew you would get away fine

I'd drown all these crying babies
If I knew that there 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)
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

If you could lay on your back and be beaten
You could put up your fists and fight
(You could try anyway)

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

Brand New is hands down, the most lyrically and instrumentally talented band out there.

@TriviumKid08 wow you really take ignorance to a new level, did you just listen to the first line of the song or..?

[TriviumKid08]

@jigyoda It's sounds like he's singing about how he wants to erotically handcuff some dude and then bang him in the butt relentlessly. Gay.

@TriviumKid08 how are these homoerotic, you're a moron

[TriviumKid08]

"I'd arrest you if I had hancuffs"

LOL this song has the most homoerotic lyrics I've ever heard in my life listen to Trivium instead.
