Now the parking lot is empty
Everyones gone someplace
I pick you up and in the trunk Ive packed

A cooler and a 2-day suitcase
Cause theres a place we like to drive
Way out in the country

Five miles out of the city limit were singing
And your hands upon my knee


So were okay
Were fine
Baby Im here to stop your crying

Chase all the ghosts from your head
Im stronger than the monster beneath your bed
Smarter than the tricks played on your heart

Well look at them together then well take them apart
Adding up the total of a love thats true
Multiply life by the power of two


You know the things that I am afraid of
Im not afraid to tell

And if we ever leave a legacy
Its that we loved each other well
Cause Ive seen the shadows of so many people

Trying on the treasures of youth
But a road that fancy and fast
Ends in a fatal crash

And Im glad we got off
To tell you the truth


Cause were okay
Were fine
Baby Im here to stop your crying

Chase all the ghosts from your head
Im stronger than the monster beneath your bed
Smarter than the tricks played on your heart

Well look at them together then well take them apart
Adding up the total of a love thats 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

(but remember what is gold)
And its fools gold
(what is gold)

Fools gold
(what is gold)
Fools gold


Now were talking about a difficult thing
And your eyes are getting wet

I took us for better and I took us for worse
Dont you ever forget it
Now the steel bars between me and a promise

Suddenly bend with ease
The closer Im bound in love to you
The closer I am to free


So were okay
Were fine

Baby Im here to stop your crying
Chase all the ghosts from your head
Im stronger than the monster beneath your bed

Smarter than the tricks played on your heart
Well look at them together then well take them apart
Adding up the total of a love thats true

Multiply life by the power of two
