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, let's go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up 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 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
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

Oh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ah ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Oh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Oh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh

I love this, but I like "Clocks" better. This one is really good too, though. i love Coldplay! They're really talented.

this song is my favorite song of all time i believe. it and Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls. anyway, i fell in love w/ this song from the 1st time i heard it, and at the time, i was falling hard for someone who had just recently told me that things werent going to work, and i was tore up, so i went to this song for closure i suppose.. music has become my refuge lately. well i give this song two thumbs up!

wanna talk, message me

This song is beautiful. It shows that you don't have to have loud music and people yelling on a song to prove your point. I think it is just one of the most touching songs we have had in the last decade. I have a lot of friends who don't like Coldplay, and who say their songs all sound the same, but I love them none-the-less and true love lasts forever!

one of there best ever, awesome, awesome, i liked it even before the music video, but the music video totally made it ten times better, even if that's possible...but the lyrics and the singing just are simply incrediable.
