Caligula's Horse - Message To My Girl

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
