Losing My Religion
R.E.M. · Out Of Time
It's bigger than you
and you are not me
The things that I would go to
Just then send me rise..
Oh no I'm said too much..
I said it out..
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spot light
Loosing my religion
Trying to keep up you
and I don't know if I could do it
Oh no I'm said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you're laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think, I thought, I saw you strike
Every whisper,
Every wakin' hour
I'm choosin' my confessions
Trying to keep eye on you
Like I heard loss and blinded fold for
oh no I'm said too much
I said it out
Consider it this, consider it this
Eventually
consider this as well
You brought me to my knees
