Ambition

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Every single word from you is uncomfortably appealing
And reservation'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 to get me what I'm after

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
For my imagination is unnerving me
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

[Chorus]
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
I have been here before
I have been here before
