I don't wanna say "I love you", that would give away too much To be detatched and precious the only thing you feel is vicious I don't wanna say "I want you" even though I want you so much Wrapped up in conversation whispered in a hush Though I'm frightened by the word I think it's time I made it heard No more empty self-possession visions swept under the mat It's no New Years Resolution it's more than that So I wake up happy, warm in a lovers embrace Noone else can touch us while we're in this place So I sing it to the world A 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 A 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 Oh every night I hear you call my name I wanna sleep in my dark (bedroom?) I have a mind to express my pain But I won't get back in your tomb I wanna hear, I wanna hear, oh why you're gone And every night seems the same song Same song... I will be humming in my sleep I don't wanna say I don't wanna say... I can't spend the rest of my life buried in the sand
