|
I don't want to 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 want to 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 |
|
CHORUS |
|
No more empty self-possession |
|
Visions swept under the mat |
|
It's no New Year's resolution |
|
It's more than that |
|
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 |
|
This simple message to my girl |
|
CHORUS |
|
Though I'm frightened by the words |
|
Think it's time I made it heard |
|
So I'll sing it to the world |
|
A simple message to my girl |
|
CHORUS |
|
Oh, 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'm gonna sleep in my thoughts that roam |
|
Oh, every night to express my pain |
|
But I won't get wrapped in your tomb |
|
No, I don't care, I don't care why you've gone now |
|
And every night sings the same song, same song |
|
I hear hear humming in my sleep |
|
I don't want to say |
|
I don't want to say |
|
I can't spend the rest of my life |
|
Buried in the sand |
