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 knee

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 that's 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

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 (Big old)

Something new instead of something old (Keep me old)

But all you gotta do is scratch beneath the surface (But remember)

And it's fool's gold (What is gold)

Fool's gold (What is gold)

Fool's gold (What is gold)

Now we're talking about a difficult thing

And your eyes are getting wet

And I took us for better and I took us for worse

Don't you ever forget it (And now the steel bars)

The steel bars between me and a promise (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 (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 'em apart

Adding up the total of a love that's true

Multiply life by the power of two
