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 2-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 singing and your hand's upon my knee

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

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

I'm not afraid to tell and if we'd ever leave a legacy

It's that we loved each other well

I've seen the shadows of so many people

Trying on the treasures of youth

A road that fancy and fast ends in a fatal crash

And I'm glad we got off to tell you the truth

Cause 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

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



All the shiny little trinkets of temptation

(make new friends) something new

Instead of something old (but keep the old)

All you gotta do is scratch beneath the surface

(and remember what is gold) and it's fools gold

Fools gold fools gold (what is gold what is 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

The steel bars between me and a promise

Suddenly bend with ease and closer

I'm bound in love to you the closer I am

So 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

We'll look at them together then

We'll take 'em apart adding up the total of

A love that's true multiply life by the power of two
