Your Invitation Is Declined

Something a little different.

YOUR INVITATION IS DECLINED

(Words & Music by Gavin Sinclair)

So here you are again, hello my old friend

Of course, I knew that you'd be back some day

But I just never knew that it would be so soon

Or how long you'd want to stay

You look different this time somehow

A harder glint in your eye

Beneath the shadow of your furrowed brow

You whisper, "Why even try?"

And no, I won't go home with you                 (Come with me, Gavin)

At least not this time                          (It’s time)

I'll pull through, like I always do

Your invitation is declined

First time I saw you there, you caught me unawares

Thought that I was one that you had missed

Never thought to see your face, feel the freeze of your embrace

You surprised me with your kiss

A soft suggestion to follow you down

A dark and dusty stair

Raised my eyes from the ground, took a long look around

But I made it out of there

And no, I won't go home with you                 (I can wait)

At least not this time                         (Next time)

I'll pull through, like I always do

Your invitation is declined

Maybe one day, something in your voice

Will lead me to a different choice

Maybe...

But for now...

I won't go home with you                  (You’ll change your mind)

At least not this time              (I’ll be there when you do)

I'll pull through, like I always do

Your invitation is declined
