Message to My Girl - Cover Version

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
 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
 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
