power of two

Lyrics

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 knees, 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 fancy and fast ends in a fatal crash, and i'm glad we got off to tell you the truth, 'cause 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. now we're talking about a difficult thing, and 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
