The Scientist

This song has been around for some years. One hears it on the radio on and off.

But I never realised how jiwang it actually is, until I listened and paid heed to its every word as it came on my playlist last night.

Deep in the still of the night.

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
nurse me your questions
oh let's go back to the start

running in circles
coming up tails
heads on the science apart

nobody said it was easy
its 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

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 its 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
