Handcuffs Brand New

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Refrain]
It's hard to be the better man
When you forget you're tryin'
It's hard to be the better man

[Verse 3]
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
