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
Oh no I’ve said too much
I set it up

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
It's all yellow.

    I died. I died and you just stood there. I died and you watched. I died and you walked by and said no. I'm dead.

    The song never ceases to amaze me.

    Now that I read the lyrics, since I never had a chance to cuz it's not provided in their album, I like it even more.
    This isn't the land of opportunity, it's the land of competition.

    i'm not trying to be all melodramatic here
    but this song has the quality of the gasps inbetween the sobs
    when you're bawling your eyes out...


    to me...

    anyway ...

    It is a great tune and I even like the video.
