Story of a song: The Scientist (Coldplay)

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've 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 the 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
Do not speak as loud as my heart

Oh 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

Review about The Scientist:

powerful meaning | Reviewer: Amy | 11/25/10

you can relate to this song on so many levels.
It reminds me of when a very close friend of mine passed away, and how frustrating it was after almost a year of grief I couldn't get to go away.
I just wanted to go back to the way it was before. I was angry because no one said it would be that hard and I hated that I knew it could never be easy.
I felt like I was in a vicious circle, and just wanted another chance to have her in my life; I wanted another chance to tell her how perfect she was and how much we all needed her in our lives.
I searched for answers that there were never answers to and tried to believe I was getting better when my insides were always being torn away at.
I found the song really powerful and feel it goes deeper than people realize. There's so much more to love, and you don't know until you lose it.
