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
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/the-scientist-lyrics-coldplay.html ]
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 was listening to this song when I first started to write my novel for NaNoWriMo, which, incidentally, is about a car crash, and then my mom told me to watch the video and it became that much more meaningful. Coldplay is awesome.

xxkarisaxx is correct. The reason was pure Selfishness and Sick. I dedicate this to my "Root Beer Eyed" girl whom I Love with all of my heart and who's put up with me and my bad ways for all of these years, yet still finds it in her heart to deal with me.

Basically, this song is saying that "he" screwed up. He doesn't know how to explain it, because it was against reason, whatever he did. He wants to be able to explain what he did with science and reasoning, but he just can't, because love doesn't work like that. And this person means everything to him, so he wants to try it over again, but the other person thinks that there should be something to explain it.

It seems to mean that he's so good at solving things, like when he's talking about pulling puzzles apart, but he can't solve their relationship.

Awesome song.. It's really deep and inspiring. In the 8th line it's "Silence" instead of "science"
