Indigo Girls - Power Of Two lyrics

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

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 I'm 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 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

Emily:

All the shiny 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

Fool's gold

Fool's gold

Amy:

Make new friends but

Keep the old

But remember

What is gold

What is gold

What is gold

Now we're talking bout a difficult thing

And your eyes are getting wet

I tookus for better and I took us for worse

Now don't you ever forget

Now the steel bars 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

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 a monster beneath your bed

I'm smarter than the tricks played on your heart

We'll look at them together then we'll take them apart

Adding up the totals of a love that's true

Multiply life by the power of two
