Come up to meet you,
tell you I’m sor ry, you don’t know how love ly you are.
I had to find you,
tell you I need you,
tell you I’ll set you a part.
Tell me your se crets and ask me your ques tions,
oh, let’s go back to the start.
Run ning in cir cles,
com ing up tails,
heads on a sci ence a part.
No bod y said it was eas y,
it’s such a shame for us to part.
No bod y said it was eas y,
no one ev er said it would be this hard.
Oh, take me back to the start.
I was just guess ing at num bers and fig ures,
pull ing the puz zles a part.
Ques tions of sci ence,
sci ence and prog ress do not speak as loud as my heart.
Tell me you love me,
come back and haunt me,
oh, when I rush to the start.
Run ning in cir cles,
chas ing our tails,
com ing back as we are.
No bod y said it was eas y,
oh, it’s such a shame for us to part.
No bod y said it was eas y,
no one ev er said it would be so hard.
I’m go in’ back to the start.
(No bod y said it was eas y.)
Yeah.
Oh.
(No bod y said it was eas y.)
No bod y said it was eas y.
No bod y said it was eas y.
No,
no.
No bod y said it was eas y.
