The Scientist

The Scientist — Coldplay songfic

I ran towards your house, the rain hitting my face, making it hard to see. That's not a problem though, I know the way to your house by heart now, I have no problem getting to it.

Come up to meet ya,


Tell you I'm sorry,


You don't know how lovely you are.

I know I messed up, Katey. But I have to tell you how sorry I am; I have to tell you how much I love you. I can't live without you Katey, I need you here by my side.

I had to find you,


Tell you I need you,


And tell you I set you apart.

I need you to trust me Katey, I don't know what would happen to me if you didn't. Can we please start over? Lets go back to the start, back to when we first met.

Tell me you secretes,


And nurse me your questions,


Oh, lets go back to the start.


Running in circles,


Coming in tails,


Heads on a science part.

I'm so sorry Katey... I love you so much, I can't live without you. Please forgive me? 
I ran towards your house, and saw the lights on. I looked inside to see you with another man. He had his arms wrapped around you, and you were crying into his chest. You looked up, and said something. You leaned closer to him, and when your lips connected with his, I turned away and ran, the rain masking my tears.

Nobody said it was easy,


It's such a shame for us to part.


No one ever said it would be this hard.


Oh, take me back to the start.

I ran home, and packed my bags as fast as I could. I wrote a note that said everything, and sealed it in an envelope with a necklace, and ran back to your house. I put it down on the floor, rang the doorbell, and ran.

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.


I was on the boat back to the city, and I was thinking about all we've been through. I thought about when we met, and all the times you told me you loved me. I never knew you were lying.

And tell me you love me,


Come back to haunt me,


Oh, and I rush to the start.


Running in circles,


Chasing tails,


Coming back as we are.

I closed my eyes, as I waited for the boat to arrive; so I can begin my new live, back from the start.

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.

I love you Katey; if only things turned out differently.
