Split Enz Message To My Girl
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 it's 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 lovers 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 Years resolution
It's more than that
Though I'm frightened by the word
I think it's time I made it heard
So I'll 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
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
