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

I absolutely LOVE this song, one of R.E.M's best in my opinion. But I don't really like the singing. I like Dia Frampton's version better to be honest.

This song is definitely one of R.E.M.'s best. I love it! ^^

The Graveworm cover is absolutely HORRIBLE though. The don't sing, they just scream for the entire song, literally.

I read in their album jacket that this song was like the turning point in their career. Like, there was pre- Losing My Religion and post- Losing My Religion. And I agree, this song just sets the tone, it's so amazing. It'll defiantely live on.
