Message to My Girl

I don't wanna say I love you

That would give away too much

It's 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 words

Think it's time I made it heard

No more empty self possession

Vision swept under the mat

It's no New Year's resolution

It's more than that

And now I wake up happy

Warm in a lover's embrace

No one else can touch us

While we're in this place

So I'll sing it to the world

Simple message to my girl

No more empty self possession

Vision swept under the mat

It's no New Year's resolution

It's more than that

Though I'm frightened by the words

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

Vision swept under the mat

It's no New Year's resolution

It's more than that

And there's nothing quite as real

As the touch of your sweet hand

I can spend the rest of my life

Buried in the sand

I don't wanna say

I don't wanna say

I don't wanna say

I don't wanna say

I can spend the rest of my life

Buried in the sand
