Ambition Lyrics

lately I've been measuring mistakes that I've been making
it's classic overreach and stretching way beyond my station
whatever I've been drinking lends a small amount of solace
that's inversely proportional to how badly I want it

so long, ambition
it's not a competition
I can't win anymore
I can't win anymore
an odd position
but I got the suspicion
I have been here before
I have been here before

every single word from you's uncomfortably appealing
preservation's telling me to forget what I'm hearing
part of me is screaming, 'you should just come out and ask her'
as if there were a chance in hell that'd get me what I'm after

so long, ambition
it's not a competition
I can't win anymore
I can't win anymore
an odd position
but I got the suspicion
I have been here before
I have been here before

my imagination is unnervingly inclined to working overtime
this kind of aggravation just seems perfectly designed to keep me up at night
it keeps me up at night
it keeps me up at night
alright

so long, ambition
it's not a competition
I can't win anymore
I can't win anymore
an odd position
but I got the suspicion
I have been here before
I have been here before
