The Scientist

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry

You don't know how lovely you are


I had to find you

Tell you I need you

Tell you I set you apart


Tell me your secrets

And nurse me your questions

Oh let's go back to the start


Running in circles

Coming up tails

Heads on a silence apart


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


I was just guessing

At numbers and figures

Pulling your puzzles apart


Questions of science

Science and progress

Do not speak as loud as my heart


Tell me you love me

Come back and haunt me

Oh and I rush to the start


Running in circles

Chasing our tails

Coming back as we are


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
