Lyrics: Peter Lawrence Buck/John Michael Stipe/William Thomas Berry/Michael Edward Mills
Life
Is bigger
Yeah
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
No no
Yeah
Oh no
I have 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 have said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
What if all these fantasies come flailing around?
Now I have said
I have 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 have said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
