Ambition We Are Scientists

[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
