Lyrics

[Intro: Emily Saliers, Amy Ray, Tom Calderon] I took classical guitar lessons for a year when I was twelve years old.  Big impact.  And then I stopped taking it. I did it for my Dad, really. But I have no regrets. 'Cause uh, it was really good for my technique, and you can always benefit from working your hands in that way. It was very difficult, actually, it took a lot of practice and discipline. So it was good.  It's not necessary, though, it's not like— No, it's definitely not necessary.  It helps to do some kind of training, but it's not, it's not necessary.  Well, let's see if that training paid off. Can you guys, uh, play a song for us live right now? Yeah, maybe.  We gotta take our headphones off.  This is uh, they're gonna do for us right now, "Power of Two," on Modern Rock Live.  [Verse 1] 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 And five miles out of the city limit we're singing And your hand's upon my knee [Chorus] 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 'em apart Adding up the total of a love that's true Multiply life by the power of two [Verse 2] You know the things that I am afraid of I'm not afraid to tell And if we ever leave a legacy It's that we loved each other well Because I've seen the shadows of so many people Still 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 [Chorus] '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 'em apart Adding up the total of a love that's true Multiply life by the power of two [Bridge] 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) And it's fool's gold (What is gold) Fool's gold (What is gold) Fool's gold (What is gold) [Verse 3] And now we're talking about a difficult thing Your eyes are getting wet But I took us for better and I took us for worse Don't you ever forget it And 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 [Chorus] 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 'em apart Adding up the total of a love that's true Multiply life by the power of two [Outro] Thank you.
