Oh, life is bigger 00:32
It's bigger than you 00:37
And you are not me 00:40
The lengths that I will go to 00:43
The distance in your eyes 00:46
00:50
Oh no, I've said too much 00:53
I set it up 00:59
That's me in the corner 01:03
That's me in the spotlight 01:07
Losing my religion 01:10
Trying to keep up with you 01:14
And I don't know if I can do it 01:19
Oh no, I've said too much 01:24
I haven't said enough 01:29
I thought that I heard you laughing 01:33
I thought that I heard you sing 01:37
I think I thought I saw you try 01:42
Every whisper, of every waking hour 01:49
I'm choosing my confessions 01:55
Trying to keep an eye on you 02:01
Like a hurt, lost, and blinded fool, fool 02:05
Oh no, I've said too much 02:09
I set it up 02:15
Consider this 02:20
Consider this, the hint of the century 02:23
Consider this the slip 02:27
That brought me to my knees, failed 02:32
What if all these fantasies come 02:36
Flailing around 02:41

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

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 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, fly, try

That was just a dream

Just a dream

Just a dream

...
