Power of two

Now the parking lot is empty
everyone's gone someplace
i pick you up and in the trunk i've packed
a cooler and a two day suitcase
'cause there's a place we like to drive
way out in the country
five miles out of the city limit we're singin'
and your hand's upon my leg
So we're ok, we're fine
baby i'm here to stop your crying
chase all the ghosts from your head
i'm stronger than the monster beneath your bed
smarter than the tricks played on your heart
look at them together then we'll take them apart
adding up the total of a love that's true
multiply life by the power of two
I know the things that i am afraid of
i'm not afraid to tell
and if we ever leave a legacy
it's that we loved each other well
'cause i've seen the shadows of so many people
trying on the treasures of youth
but a road that fancy and fast ends in a fatal crash
and i'm glad we got off to tell you the truth
So we're ok, we're fine
baby i'm here to stop your crying
chase all the ghosts from your head
i'm stronger than the monster beneath your bed
smarter than the tricks played on your heart
look at them together then we'll take them apart
adding up the total of a love that's true
multiply life by the power of two
All the shiny little trinkets of temptation
something new instead of something old
but all you gotta do is scratch beneath the surface
and it's fool's gold
fool's gold
Now we're talking about a difficult thing
your eyes are getting wet
i took us for better and i took us for worse
and don't you ever forget it
Now there's steel bars between me and a promise
suddenly bend with ease
and the closer i'm bound in love to you
the closer i am to free
So we're ok, we're fine
baby i'm here to stop your crying
chase all the ghosts from your head
i'm stronger than the monster beneath your bed
smarter than the tricks played on your heart
look at them together then we'll take them apart
adding up the total of a love that's true
multiply life by the power of two
