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 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
