Intro

B/C# C# B/C# C# (x3)

Verse 1

I don't wanna 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 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 that it was heard

Chorus

No more empty self-possession visions swept under the mat
It's no New Years Resolution it's more than that 

Verse 2

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
A simple message to my girl

Chorus

No more empty self-possession visions swept under the mat
It's no New Years Resolution it's more than that 

Instrumental

    
       

Pre-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 more empty self-possession visions swept under the mat
It's no New Years Resolution it's more than that 

Interlude

(B/C# C# x12)
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...

Outro

Oh, there's nothing quite as real, as the touch of your sweet hands
I can't spend the rest of my life buried in the sand
