Tie Up My Hands Lyrics
I turned to my friend and the look in his eyes said
I might never be as young as I am again
I said that we’d go when the next good song comes on
He said make it fast man let’s not stay here too long
To give a little means I have to spend until I die
The underground is mainstream and the mainstream is a lie
She says she’s wasting her time in this city in this room
But please don’t believe me when I say I don’t miss you
So tie up my hands and then I’ll keep my hands to myself
So tie up my hands I won’t lay them on anyone else
So tie up my hands but who complains when walking from hell
Tie them up tie them up
Was walking home half asleep nowhere to go to
That’s me in the back seat and you in the photo
Looked up from a taxicab swear that I’d seen her
The rain in the stoplight was as if I dreamed her
And everybody tells me that bad weather’s coming in
I hate the way I look and I despise the way I sing
And everybody hates themselves despite all that they say
But I can’t complain though welcome a new day
Looked up from the taxicab swear that I seen her
The rain in the stoplight was as if I dreamed her
I swear that I swear that I swear that I seen her
The rain in the taxicab as if I dreamed her
I might never be as young as I am again
I said that we’d go when the next good song comes on
He said make it fast man let’s not stay here too long
The underground is mainstream and the mainstream is a lie
She says she’s wasting her time in this city in this room
But please don’t believe me when I say I don’t miss you
So tie up my hands I won’t lay them on anyone else
So tie up my hands but who complains when walking from hell
Tie them up tie them up
That’s me in the back seat and you in the photo
Looked up from a taxicab swear that I’d seen her
The rain in the stoplight was as if I dreamed her
I hate the way I look and I despise the way I sing
And everybody hates themselves despite all that they say
But I can’t complain though welcome a new day
The rain in the stoplight was as if I dreamed her
I swear that I swear that I swear that I seen her
The rain in the taxicab as if I dreamed her

i think this song is about how a dude cheated on a girl, he pretended he didn't care for a while but he keeps seeing her everywhere and he's becoming desperate to have her back, he's saying "tie up my hands" promising he won't do it again.
I agree with 'alliegator ohsnap'. The song is about a guy cheating on a girl and trying to get her trust back. The album is great and this would be the my favourite song on it, because i'm finding myself in a simular position.
alliegator oh snap is right. its about a guy who lives in another state, but when he comes up to see the girl, he tells her he loves her and wants to be with her. but the girl doesn't believe him, so he's desperately trying to get her trust, even though he thinks it might be too late.
the thing is... they both love each other, but she knows she can't trust him and he knows she never will. but that doesn't stop him from looking for her, and maybe imagining he sees her every time he's in her city.
i think this song is about somthing real. one of them had a girlfriend who moved to melbourne to be together then found out he cheated on her before she came.
I disagree. I think it's about a relationship that gets split up because the girl is changing state. She decides to end it because she doesn't think their relationship could continue long-distance, and suggests that they'd both end up finding other people. But he feels she's the only one he needs and that as proof she could even "tie up [his] hands". I get that idea from the line "please don't believe me when I say I don't miss you". I reckon that he feels like he has no choice but to accept it and even claims not to miss her, so that she doesn't feel bad, but he's really miserable over her.
You are all right, and I would know since I was just one of the numerous girls Declan cheated on his long-term girlfriend with.
