Split Enz - Message To My Girl

I don`t want to 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
Whispered in a hush
Though I`m frightened by the word
Think it`s time that it was heard

No more empty self-possession
Vision swept under the mat
It`s no new years resolution
It`s more than that

Now I wake up happy
Warm in a lovers 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
Vision swept under the mat
It`s no new years resolution
It`s more than that

No more empty self-possession
Vision swept under the mat
It`s no new years resolution
It`s more than that

No there`s nothing quite as real
As a touch of your sweet hand
I can`t spend the rest of my life
Buried in the sand.
