R.E.M. - LOSING MY RELIGION

1991

(VERSE #1)
Oh, 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've said it all


(VERSE #2)
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


(CHORUS)
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
(THIRD TIME THRU, DS al CODA "GO TO CODA")


(VERSE #3)
Every whisper
Of every waking hour
I'm choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt, lost and blinded old, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I've said it all


(VERSE #4)
Consider this
Consider this hint of the century
Consider this slip
That brought me to my knees pale
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
And now I've said too much


(CHORUS)
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try


(BRIDGE)
That was just a dream
That was just a dream


(REPEAT VERSE #2)


(REPEAT CHORUS)


(CODA)
That was just a dream
Try, cry, why, try
That was just a dream
just a dream, just a dream...
