Power of Two
Indigo Girls Lyrics

Now the parking lot is empty
Everyone has left and gone somewhere else, leaving only an empty space.

Everyone's gone someplace
All of the people who were in the parking lot have now gone to another location.

I pick you up and in the trunk I've packed A cooler and a 2-day suitcase
I have prepared for our trip by bringing a cooler filled with food and drink, as well as a suitcase with enough clothes for two days.

'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 have a special place we like to go for drives - it's out in the countryside and about five miles outside the city limits. On the way there, we sing together and you hold my hand.

So we're okay We're fine Baby I'm here to stop your crying Chase all the ghosts from your head
Despite any troubles we may face, we are doing well and I am here to comfort you and support you through your struggles. I will help you forget your past troubles and move forward.

I'm stronger than the monster beneath your bed Smarter than the tricks played on your heart
No matter what fears or doubts you may have, I am strong enough to help you overcome them. I am also wise enough to recognize any emotional manipulation and help you avoid falling for it.

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
We will work together to analyze and solve any issues we face. When we unite our love, we are able to increase the positivity and happiness in our lives exponentially.

You know the things that I am afraid of I'm not afraid to tell
I trust you enough to confide in you my fears, and I know you won't judge me for them.

And if we ever leave a legacy It's that we loved each other well
Even if we are remembered for nothing else, I hope it is that our love was strong and pure.

'Cause I've seen the shadows of so many people Trying on the treasures of youth But a road that fancy and fast ends ends in a fatal crash And I'm glad we got off To tell you the truth
I have witnessed many people indulging in the pleasures of youth, only to end up in ruin. I am relieved that we have avoided such a path and stuck to what truly matters.

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 it's fools gold Fools gold (what is gold) Fools gold (what is gold)
It may be tempting to seek out new experiences and people, but it's important to remember the value of the familiar and the true. We must dig deeper than appearances to find genuine connections and treasures in our lives.

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
We are discussing a challenging topic that is bringing up emotions in you. However, we made a commitment to each other for better or for worse, and I want you to remember that we are in this together.

And now the steel bars 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 (free)
Any obstacles that stood between me and my promise to you are now easily overcome because we are united in love. In fact, being connected to you actually gives me a sense of freedom.

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
Despite any struggles we may face, we are doing well and I am here to comfort and support you. Together, we will analyze and solve any issues we face, and our love will multiply the positivity in our lives exponentially.
