[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
It's wrapped up in conversation
Whispered in a hush

[Pre-Chorus]
Though I'm frightened by the words
Think it's time I made it heard

[Chorus]
No more empty self-possession
Visions swept under the mat
It's no New Year's resolution
It's more than that

[Verse 2]
Now, I wake up happy
Warm in a lover's embrace
No one else can touch us
While we're in this place
[Pre-Chorus]
So I'll sing it to the world
This simple mеssage to my girl

[Chorus]
No more empty sеlf-possession
Visions swept under the mat
It's no New Year's resolution
It's more than that

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
No more empty self-possession
Visions swept under the mat
It's no New Year's resolution
It's more than that
And 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
[Spoken Outro]
Thank you very much
Yes, it's a rather dearth of hurts tonight
Most of them, then they come
Um, but you know I figured that we'd been in town
We, we, played a few of the big ones and
This is good fun for me to just
Lay down a few things which I regard as
Very, I'm very fond of all of these songs actually, to be honest
