Power Of Two Lyrics
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
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
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 fancy and fast
ends in a fatal crash
and i'm glad we got off
to tell you the truth
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
(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 it's fools gold
(what is gold)
fools gold
(what is gold)
fools gold
now we're talking about a difficult thing
and your eyes are getting wet
i took us for better and i took us for worse
don't you ever forget it
now the steel bars between me and a promise
suddenly bend with ease
the closer i'm bound in love to you
the closer i am to free
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
the lyrics are just amazing...
Simplicity. Comfort. Security. Spontaneity. Strength. Vulnerability. Protection. Freedom.
Love.
a gorgeous love song! when i heard it i could have sworn it was written for me. it sums up just how i feel about love and companionship. it's unique in that it's easy, calm and free; this is about a couple with a love that knows no conditions or expiration date...the long haul. so very few people appreciate the real everyday effort behind a successful romance.
the lyrics are just amazing...
i think that this song is trying to prove the age old saying that two heads are always better than one. the reason for couples for marriage for love. there are so many meanings in this song and all of the Indigo Girls songs...
the closer i'm bound in love to you the closer i am to free
that just sums it all up. i'm reminded of the rilo kiley lyric "i am flawed if i'm not free." this is someone who has found a real kind of love -- the kind that doesn't keep score, that doesn't cause anxiety or make you feel weighed down. this is a lucky, lucky person.
Not only about love, I think, sure, also.... But also about friendship, if you ask me.
On the soundtrack from "boys on the side".... Great movie about friendship. :)
Totally agree. :)
Totally agree. :)
Well... just a beautiful love song. It captures that feeling that you have when nothing else matters around you as long as your with that person. It is about pure compassion and trust with another.
