the scientist cover

Christina Perri

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
And 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 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 guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Don t speak as loud as my heart
And 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 so hard

I m going back to the start

Aah oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh (x4)
