LOSING MY RELIGION

WRITTEN BY: BILL BERRY, PETER BUCK, MIKE MILLS, & MICHAEL STIPE

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 SPOT-LIGHT
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 SPOT-LIGHT
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, FLY, TRY

THAT WAS JUST A DREAM
JUST A DREAM
JUST A DREAM, DREAM
