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
