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 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 no more empty self possession visions 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 a simple message to my girl no more empty self possession visions swept under the mat it s no new year s resolution it s more than that 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
