I don`t want to 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
whispered in a hush
though I`m frightened by the word
think it`s time that it was heard

No more empty self-possession
vision 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 sing it to the world
simple message to my girl

No more empty self-possession
vision swept under the mat
it`s no new years resolution
it`s more than that

Though I`m frightened by the word
think it`s time I made it heard
so I sing it to the world
simple message to my girl

No more empty self-possession
vision swept under the mat
it`s no new years resolution
it`s more than that

No there`s nothing quite as real
as a touch of your sweet hand
I can`t spend the rest of my life
Buried in the sand
