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
