A Rush Of Blood To The Head

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
