"The Scientist" Lyrics

(Guy Berryman/Jonny Buckland/Will Champion/Chris Martin)

Come up to meet ya, tell you I'm sorry.
You don't know how lovely you are.
I had to find you, tell you I need ya, tell you I set you apart.
Tell me your secrets, ask me your questions.
Oh, let's go back to the start.
Running in circles, coming on 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 numbers and figures, pulling the 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, when I rush to the start.
Running in circles, chasing 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 this hard.
I'm going back to the start.
