Brand New - Handcuffs [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

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 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)
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 anyway out

[X2]
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
