I don't wanna say "I love you", that would give away too much

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

Wrapped up in conversation whispered in a hush

Though I'm frightened by the word

I think it's time I made it heard

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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
