“THE SCIENTIST”
(Performed by ColdPlay)
Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
I was just guessing at numbers and figures
You don't know how lovely you are
Pulling the puzzles apart
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Questions of science, science and progress
And tell you I set you apart
Don't speak as loud as my heart
Tell me your secrets
So tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
And ask me your questions
Oh, when I rush to the start
Oh, let's go back to the start
Running in circles, chasing in tails
Running in circles, coming up tails
Coming back as we are
Heads on a science apart
Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
No one ever said it would be so hard
No one ever said it would be this hard
I'm going back to the start
Oh, take me back to the start
