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
