Song lyrics
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 ask me your questions,
Oh lets go back to the start.
Running in circles, Comin' in tails
Heads on a science 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 guessin' at numbers and figures,
Pulling the puzzles apart.
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart.

And tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start.
Runnin' in circles, Chasin' tails
Comin' 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 goin' back to the start.

Ohhhh oooooo
Ahhhh oooooo
Ohhhh oooooo
Ohhhh oooooo

this is one of the best songs ever in my opinion

Nobody said it was easy,

Nobody said it was easy,
No one ever said it would be this hard.
Oh, take me back to the start.

What makes this song great is (1) the great word pictures - you can see yourself walking up to someone's flat or contemplating how a relationship can still work, and (2) the utter futility of the whole enterprise - the writer KNOWS it's over - and only the scientific impossibility of turning back time will solve the problem. The plaintive yodeling/howling at the end says it all. A masterpiece.

Defenately my favourite song on the album. Touching and sweet. Sometimes I wonder of Chris Martin really is a genious in his own field...
