There are alot of wonderful interpetations of this song here.I thought I would take a stab at it.This for someone who made a strong impression on me that will never read this. Life is bigger It's bigger than you I know that there is more to life then you. And you are not me I can only be whom I am. The lengths that I will go to The anguish that I have put myself through over you. The distance in your eyes I'm just not important to you. Oh no I've said too much I've exposed myself. I set it up Here we go again. That's me in the corner I am alone. That's me in the spotlight I feel like everyone is watching. Losing my religion I am at the end of my rope. Trying to keep up with you I listen intently to the little news of you. And I don't know if I can do it Am I strong enough? Oh no I've said too much I have exposed myself. I haven't said enough I have so much to say. I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try You always there just beyond my senses. Every whisper Every thought. Of every waking hour All the time. I'm Choosing my confessions I'm thinking what to say. Trying to keep an eye on you I listen intently to the little news of you. Like a hurt lost and blinded fool I'm an idiot. Oh no I've said too much I've exposed myself. I set it up Here we go again. Consider this The hint of the century My interpetation of this song. Consider this The slip that brought me I've really put my foot in it. To my knees failed I'm lost. What if all these fantasies Come flailing around What would happen if my wishes came true? Now I've said too much Ive exposed myself. I thought that I heard you laughing I thought that I heard you sing I think I thought I saw you try You always there just beyond my senses. But that was just a dream That was just a dream Its only a wish.

You have nailed the meaning of this song perfectly! :) This is an amazing song.. And although you do have to go deeper in the lyrics, to understand what he's singing about- it's definitely not the obvious (religion). But unrequited love. A heartbreakingly beautiful song, that will forever remain a classic.. Even for the newer generations. Genius. :)

Your interpretation is the best. Its just this that comes to mind when you hear, the song sounds like this!

@RedDwarf13 To let people know i am involved with person again after 30 some years .Wow!
