Lately I've been measuring mistakes that I've been making
it's classic over-reaching, stretching way beyond my station
Wherever I've been drinking 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 opposition
And I've got the suspicion
I have been here before
I have been here before
Every single word from you is uncomfortably appealing
And reservations 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 it'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 opposition
And I've got the suspicion
I have been here before
I have been here before
Well my imagination is unnervingly inclined to work in over time
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 opposition
And I've got the suspicion
I have been here before
I have been here before
I have been here before
I have been here before
