Message To My Girl

I don't wanna say I love you That would give away too much Hip to be detached and precious The only thing you feel is vicious I don't wanna say I want you Even though I want you so much It's wrapped up in conversation It's whispered in a hush Though I'm frightened by the word I think it's time that it was heard No more empty self-possession Visions swept under the mat It's no New Years resolution It's more than that Now I wake up happy Warm in a lovers embrace No one else can touch us While we're in this place So I'll sing it to the world This simple message to my girl No more empty self-possession Visions swept under the mat It's no New Years resolution It's more than that Though I'm frightened by the word I think it's time I made it heard So I'll sing it to the world Simple message to my girl No more empty self-possession Visions swept under the mat It's no New Years resolution It's more than that No there's nothing quite as real As the touch of your sweet hand I can't spend the rest of my life Buried in the sand
