Original theme & lyrics: William Berry, Peter Buck, Michael Mills, Michael Stipe
Originally performed by: REM
verse one:
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...
pre-chorus:
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...
verse two:
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
Oh no, I said too much
I set it up...
pre-chorus:
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
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
pre-chorus:
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...
outro:
That was just a dream
try, try, try, try...
That was just a dream
just a dream
just a dream
dream
