Lyrics for Ambition as interpreted by Joekubrick

Ambition Lyrics
So ambition cut you down
Ain't a love as perfect
Everybody knows it
Something drove you down

Something as good
Something new
Somebody good
Our ambition cuts you down

There's not a love that's perfect
But I, I live in hope

Somebody good
Somebody new
Something as good
Something that's mine

Ain't a love that's perfect
Everybody knows it
Ambition cuts us down

NO COMMENTS?! What's up with that?!

This song is so beyond good. Its amazing. Its sweeping ambiance, and the distorted vocals are great.

I adore this song, it makes me cry like a baby.

I think this song is simply about compromise, how you can't have everything you want and must sacrifice certain things to obtain them. If you want 'Somebody Good', you have to settle for 'Something as good', and not what you initially strived to obtain, and vice versa.

"Somebody new
Something as good
Something that's mine
Ain't a love that's perfect
Everybody knows it
Ambition cuts us down"

anybody else get chills when he sings that?

i agree with InHerHand. everyone wants that perfect "someone", but everyone knows that there's never going to be a perfect someone.

i love it.

chilled as they come, can be put on repeat and will send you into a harmonious semi-concious sleep

I get the chilled fuzzies whenever I hear it.

Belongs in the top five greatest Dove offerings.

It's stunning. It really is. It's the standout from Some Cities and for some bizarre reason it always has me thinking of Sam Tyler from Life on Mars :/
