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
And five miles out of the city limit, we're singin'
And your hand's upon my knees

So we're okay, 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 (on your heart)
We'll 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

You know the things that I am afraid of
But not afraid to tell, yeah, yeah (I'm not afraid to tell)
And if we ever leave a legacy
It's that we loved each other well

Because I've seen the shadows of so many people
Still trying on the treasures of youth
But a road that's fancy and fast ends in a fatal crash
And I'm glad we got off to tell you the truth (to tell you the truth)

So we're okay, 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 (on your heart)
We'll 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

(So we're okay, we're fine)

All the shiny little trinkets of temptation
Something new instead of something old
All you gotta do is scratch beneath the surface
And it's fool's gold, fool's gold, fool's gold

And now we're talking about a difficult thing
And your eyes are getting wet
But I took us for better, and I took us for worse
And don't you ever forget it

There's steel bars between me and a promise
Suddenly bend with ease
The closer I'm bound in love to you
The closer I am to free (to free)

So we're okay, 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 (on your heart)
We'll 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

(So we're okay, we're fine)
