Song lyrics
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

This song really hits me deep. A lot of times, out of the blue, this song will appear in my head. It is a sure classic.

I can't stand this song! I have no specific reason why. I just hate it for some reason.

Great song but some images from the video make me want to vomit.

wat would those images b, the ones from the video clip, personally i think the clip adds to the song, gives it a story line and i thinki that it makes it even more mysterious and gives us a deeper look into michael stipes mind

i agree this song is great but i still think "It's the end of the world as we know it" is the best song they have made so far
