The Scientist

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
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, 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

[ back ]

1'36"

Stuck in the corner
Like monkeys in cages
That don't have a number
And fight one another 
Try to recover 

Climb up a ladder 
Look up and you see birds 
Blind as each other 
How long can we suffer? 
We're as blind as each other 

On the cloud that you're sitting 
There's one born every minute 
So much to discover 
I've become a believer 

Sisters and brothers 
Who fight one another 
Will mourn and deceive us 
Will find us and keep us 
Take us or leave us 

How soon is now?  
Only how long is never? 
I'm nothing but normal 
We're something together 
Come on stick together 

On the cloud that you're sitting 
There's one born every minute 
There's so much to discover 
I've become a believer

I Ran Away

One, two, three: Will

I ran away from you 
That's all I ever do 
And though I started here 
I ran away from you
I'm gonna come on in 
And see it through

I ran away from you 
That's all I ever do
And when I heard you 
Come back to me 
And though I should stay 
I don't have the stomach to

Everyone I know 
Says I'm a fool to mess with you 
Everyone I know 
Says it's a stupid thing to do
I have your love on call 
And my belly is so full 
There might be nothing left to do 
So I ran away from you

I'm gonna come on in 
My eyes were closed
I can feel it near 
The sides so close 
I'm gonna come on out 
And burn the sky

A star arose in my own cage 
I stuck in line
And in a cage
Just a single star 
I sing for

Everyone I know 
Says I'm a fool to mess with you 
Everyone I know 
Says it's a stupid thing to do

I have your love on call 
And yet my belly is so full 
And I did not know what to do 
And so I ran away from you
