Handcuffs Lyrics
Artist(Band):Brand New
Review The Song (8)Print the 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 backseat
As if you'd committed a terrible crime

I'd break in a town's worth of houses
And rob whole families blind
I’d do it to you like you'd do it to me
If you 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 when all your appeals were declined

I’d drive my car off of a bridge
If I knew that you weren’t inside
With the pedal to the floor, who could ask for a more
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 and be way off

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

Review about Handcuffs

um yea | Reviewer: Janine | 2/13/2008

When I first listened to the song, I was taken aback when I heard the lines about drowning babies. At first I was a little skeptical about the meaning and purpose of that particular line and what it had to do with the rest of the song but after a few more listens,I really grew to love this song like I love every song they make. What surprised me was that Jesse didn't write it.
It is a beautiful song though. I love it.



magnificent | Reviewer: becca | 1/23/2008

i love this song the first time i ever heard it i was in the car with my brother and i've loved brand new ever since. this song stuck with me the most i'm always singing it during class.



Blew me away | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/22/2008

I'm surprised not a lot of people have commented on this song and most spent time arguing the interpretation of "Jesus Christ." This by far is my favorite song from them. I can't recall a song that has hit me so hard and still gives me the chills when I listen to it.



can't go wrong with acoustic. | Reviewer: Sarah | 10/28/2007

katie, i was at the uptown show on the 15th, also. jesse was right when he said it's one of the most beautiful songs they've written.



Beyond Words | Reviewer: Katie | 10/26/2007

This song is just beyond words. I saw them last night and when they played this song I about melted. It was the best show I have ever been to, and this was one of the best songs I've ever heard, live and otherwise.



mermaid breeze | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/23/2007

i love this song, the first time i heard it the tune just stuck in my head! i just kept humming it and had a huge urg to listen to it over and over again its amazing just like all their other hits ILY brand new!!



Spectacular and beautiful | Reviewer: N. Hunter | 8/1/2007

As with the rest of the songs from this album, this song is absolutely incredible. It took me a while to get into it, but once I did, I really fell in love with it. The orchestral background in this song, and the slow build up all lend to the atmosphere.



Genius | Reviewer: F. Marie | 12/1/2006

This group keeps coming up with exceptional and creative ideas in their words and music. It's so refreshing to hear a song that has meaning and not a repetitous sentance over and over again which becomes quite boring.
