now the parking lot is empty
everyone's gone someplace
i'll 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 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
we 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

you know the things that i'm afraid of
i'm not afraid to tell
and if we'd 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 their 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 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

oh the sunny little trinkets of temptation
something new instead of something old
all you gotta do is scratch beneath the surface
and it's fool's gold
(what is gold)
fool's gold
(what is gold)
fool's gold

now we're talking about a difficult thing
and you're eyes are getting wet
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
suddenly bend with ease
the closer i'm bound in love with 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
we 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
