Crowded House - Message To My Girl lyrics

I don't wanna 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 It's whispered in a hush Though I'm frightened by the word I think its time that it was heard No more empty self possession Visions swept under the mat It's no new years 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 sing it to the world Simple message to my girl No more empty self possession Visions swept under the mat It's no new years resolution It's more than that Though I'm frightened by the word I think its time I made it heard So I sing it to the world Simple message to my girl No more empty self possession Visions swept under the mat It's no new years resolution It's more than that And 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
