Engraved Invitation
Ben Harper
Both Sides of the Gun (2006)

I wish I was a thought: I'd run all through your mind
And come out being everything you ever tried to find.
Life's the longest picture you're ever going to take.
Love's the longest promise that you're ever going to break.

It's an engraved invitation
To leave all this time we've been wasting.

I wish I could yell sorry louder than I screamed
All of those other things I said but didn't mean.
Some days I'm the law's servant.
Some days I'm Satan's spawn.
Some days I just wish the voices in my head were gone.

It's an engraved invitation
To leave all this time we've been wasting.

The sun's a moon that warms you.
The moon's a sun with no heat.
The sky above is to remind you what's under your feet.
This life's not big enough to feel my love inside;
'Cause I remember you from heaven the last time I died.

It's an engraved invitation
To leave all this time we've been wasting.
