The Scientist (Fall Asleep To This)

(Album: The Layover - 2011)

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 in tales
Heads are 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 your 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 and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing tails
And 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
Ah, ooh
Oh, ooh
Oh, ooh
