Letra de
The Scientist

A música The Scientist do Coldplay foi inspirada por George Harrison e a teoria musical básica. Guy Berryman teria dito que não sabia como tocar piano, razão pela qual o riff é tão simplista. A letra fala sobre um desejo de consertar um relacionamento que deu errado.

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
