We Are Scientists - Barbara

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 emblessly (?) proporcional 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 got 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 moving (?) cloud all working over time
This kind of aggrevation 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
