Lyrics of The Scientist by Coldplay

verse

Come up to meet you, tell ya I′m sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell ya I need you
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions
Oh, let′s go back to the start
Runnin' in circles, comin' up tails
Heads on a science apart

chorus

Nobody said it was easy
It′s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh, take me back to the start

verse

I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
But tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh, and I rush to the start
Runnin′ in circles, chasin' our tails
Coming back as we are

chorus

Nobody said it was easy
Oh, it′s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start
