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 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 a 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.
