Mostly right, but here's what I think:

I'm being held captive Something's got a hold of me They say until death Splits us up and calls the judge They'd ask if you believe You've lost your soul for eternity But you've never been free When it's said and done We can run and start eternity

But for now, I've been trapped, oh Too long to take these roads Tell me when you see the smoke Hear my cry and bring me back to home

Arrested by your love, girl Cuffed and searched from the floor Badly beaten in love, girl Turn the key and lock the door (x2)

I'll send an SOS Through a telegraphic note Expressed in shreds Written in code, signed to unknown 'Cause nobody should know What it's like to be alone So take back your soul A lot to uphold, a lie to be told 'Cause love's not set in stone

But for now, I've been trapped, oh Too long to take these roads Tell me when you see the smoke Hear my cry and bring me back to home

Arrested by your love, girl Cuffed and searched from the floor Badly beaten in love, girl Turn the key and lock the door (x2)

Come as you are, my darling Bare bones so I can see your soul I'm beginning to lose control I need to know what's starting To crumble down that nervous wall You've had to stumble for far too long Come as you are, come as you are I'm beginning to lose control I need to know, I need to know You're beginning to lose control

Arrested by your love, girl Cuffed and searched from the floor Badly beaten in love, girl Turn the key and lock the door (x2)

(Come as you are my darling) Come as you are (Bare bones so I can see your soul) Come as you are I'm beginning to lose control (I need to know what's starting) I need to know (To crumble down that nervous wall) I need to know You're beginning to lose control

This line - "A lot to uphold, a lie to be told" sounds like "A lot to uphold, a lottery ?) but I just can't figure out the end of it. I'm probably wrong anyway. Awesome song though, great opener.
