Losing My Religion

R.E.M. · Part Lies, Part Heart, Part Truth, Part Garbage - 1982 - 2011 [2011]

Ooh, life is bigger

It's bigger than you

And you are not me

The lengths that I will go to

The distance in your eyes

Oh no I've said too much, I set it up



That's me in the corner

That's me in the spotlight

Losing my religion

Trying to keep up with you

And I don't know if I can do it

Oh no I've said too much

I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing

I thought that I heard you sing

I think I thought I saw you try



Every whisper

Of every waking hour I'm

Choosing my confessions

Trying to keep an eye on you

Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool

Oh no I've said too much, I set it up



Consider this, consider this

The hint of the century

Consider this

The slip that brought me

To my knees, failed

What if all these fantasies

Come flailing around

Now I've said too much



I thought that I heard you laughing

I thought that I heard you sing

I think I thought I saw you try



But that was just a dream

That was just a dream



That's me in the corner

That's me in the spotlight

Losing my religion

Trying to keep up with you

And I don't know if I can do it

Oh no I've said too much

I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing

I thought that I heard you sing

I think I thought I saw you try



But that was just a dream

Try, cry, why try?

That was just a dream

Just a dream

Just a dream, dream
