Lyrics
Ambition
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Lately I've been measuring mistakes that I've been makin'
It's classical over-reach and stretchin' way beyond my station
Whatever I've been drinkin' lends a small amount of solace
That's endlessly 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 that I got the suspicion
I have been here before, I have been here before
Every single word from you is uncomfortably appealing
And reservations tellin' me to forget what I'm hearing
Part of me is screamin' 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 that I got the suspicion
I have been here before, I have been here before
And my imagination isn't moving me here
Can't help workin' 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 that I got the suspicion
I have been here before, I have been here before
I have been here before, I have been here before
