Come up to meet ya, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need ya
And tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, and nurse me your questions
Oh lets go back to the start
Running in circles, coming in 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
And tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing 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
Ooooohhhhhhh [x4]

Comin' up tails, Heads on the 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. Nov 06, 2018  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. All indicate that the song is sung from the perspective of the scientist, now repentant after the death of his wife. It’s about how we understand the value of people only after they are gone.
