Lyrics We Are Scientists

We Are Scientists

Ambition

Lately I've been measuring mistakes that I've been making

It's classical over-reach in stretch way beyond my station

Wherever I've been drinking lends a small amount of solace

That's inversely 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 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 that 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

For my imagination is a unnervingly inclined to working 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 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
