COMPETITON
Words and Music by Dane Bjornson
VERSE 1
I’m not oblivious
I see the other guys that you’ve been talkin’ up
It comes to no surprise just how you’re givin’ up
Lowering your standards for anyone else but me
But I won’t say a thing
To fight it makes me show that I’ve been wondering
how fast you moved on with no time in between
Cause right now you’ll settle for anyone else but me
PRE CHORUS
I don’t wanna play this game anymore
Won’t even bother keeping a score
Thought that we were coming to peace
But you’re making this a war
Cause I know you needed me
and you were all I ever dreamed
but what I saw on the surface
wasn’t quite what it seemed
CHORUS
Cause you’re making this a competition
(oooooooo)
Feels like you’re on a mission, going the distance, to show me what I’m missing
Competition
(oooooooo)
Not showing any signs of slipping, you wanna win and, have me crawling back to You, on my knees and begging
You, got me second guessing
Feels like you’re on a mission, cause you’re making this, you’re making this a
Competition
(ohhhhhh)
Feels like you’re on a mission
Cause you’re making this a competition
VERSE 2
Intervene (intervene)
Always stepping in each others boundaries (boundaries)
Space is hard to give when you’re surrounding me (surrounding me)
I can’t seem to carry on a day without seeing you
Constantly
Waving to my friends and looking right through me
Like you’re tight with them but you just wanna be
You never used to be this way, now you’re just someone new
PRE CHORUS
I don’t wanna play this game anymore
Won’t even bother keeping a score
Thought that we were coming to peace
But you’re making this a war
Cause I know you needed me
and you were all I ever dreamed
but what I saw on the surface
wasn’t quite what it seemed
CHORUS
Cause you’re making this a competition
(oooooooo)
Feels like you’re on a mission, going the distance, to show me what I’m missing
Competition
(oooooooo)
Not showing any signs of slipping, you wanna win and, have me crawling back to You, on my knees and begging
You, got me second guessing
Feels like you’re on a mission, cause you’re making this, you’re making this a
Competition
(ohhhhhh)
Feels like you’re on a mission
Cause you’re making this a competition
INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
Oooooooo
Oooooooo
I don’t wanna play this game anymore
Won’t even bother keeping a score
(Ohhhhhh)
Thought that we were coming to peace
But you’re making this a war
I don’t wanna play this game anymore
Won’t even bother keeping a score
(Ohhhhhh)
Thought that we were coming to peace
Cause you’re making this a war
CHORUS
Cause you’re making this a competition
(ohhhhhh)
Feels like you’re on a mission, going the distance, to show me what I’m missing
Competition
(ohhhhhh)
Not showing any signs of slipping, you wanna win and, have me crawling back to you
