Letra de
The Scientist

The Scientist de Coldplay fue inspirado por George Harrison y la teoría musical básica. Se dice que Guy Berryman mencionó que no sabía cómo tocar el piano, razón por la cual el riff es tan simplista. La letra habla sobre el deseo de arreglar una relación rota.

i had to find you, tell you i ne-ed you, tell you i'll set you apart
tell me your secrets and ask me your questions, oh lets go back to the start
running in circles, coming in tails, heads are a science apart
nobody said it was easy, no-one ever said it would be this hard
oh take me back to the start
questions of science, science and pr-ogress, do not speak as loud as my heart
tell me you love me, come back and ha-unt me, oh and i rush to the start
running in circles, chasing t-ails, coming back as we are
nobody said it was easy, no-one ever said it would be so hard
i'm going back to the start
