The Scientist - Corinne Bailey Rae

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, 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, mmm 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, mmm Ah-ah-ooh, mmm Ah-ah-ooh, mmm Ah-ah-ooh, mmm

Come up to meet you Tell you I'm sorry 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 your puzzles apart Questions of science Science and progress Don't 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 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 wait for you I don't know why All I know is I can't hide At this temperature you could take over my mind Like gossamer, you softly touch He draws me in, I'm powerless He possesses an enchantment Tell me I'm forgiven He calls, don't know how I fell under his spell Lately I've been driven He smiles an enchantment I wait for you I'm mesmerized This love is like a potion in disguise I'd tightrope walk with a blindfold on my eyes I can't escape, or so it seems I'd run away He's in my dreams He possesses an enchantment Tell me I'm forgiven He calls, don't know how I fell under his spell Lately I've been driven He smiles an enchantment It's the kind of sleepwalk that never ends A type of loan with no dividends It's a parlor game where you're given chase Guess it could be called an acquired taste I know, he knows He calls, I go I know This could be an enchantment Why don't you tell me I'm forgiven? He calls, don't you know how I fell under his spell I'm forgiven (forgiven) Lately I've been driven He smiles and I give in, an enchantment

Seems like everyone else has a love just for them, I don't mind, we have such a good time, My best friend, but sometimes, well, I wish we could be more than friends, Tell me do you know? Tell me do you know? Oh. I get so breathless, when you call my name, I've often wondered, do you feel the same? There's a chemistry, energy, a synchronicity When we're all alone, So don't tell me You can't see What I'm thinking of. I can understand that you don't want to cross the line, And you know i can't promise you things, Will turn out fine, But i have to be honest, I want you to be mine Tell me do you know? Tell me do you know? Oh... I get so breathless, when you call my name, I've often wondered, do you feel the same? There's a chemistry, energy, a synchronicity When we're all alone, So don't tell me You can't see Oh! 'Cause I've tried to do this right in your own time I've been telling you with my eyes, my heart's on fire, Why don't you realise? Tell me do you know? Tell me do you know? I get so breathless... When you call my name, I've often wondered, do you feel the same? There's a chemistry, energy, a synchronicity When we're all alone, So don't tell me You can't see What I'm thinking of.

Got taken in We feasted on olives from the fridge We stood alone everyday We made love all afternoon 'Til the stars went gloom You wrote, I layed We dined on oysters and champagne That's what it seemed like We connect in so many ways So easy on my sake Why am I so shy around you? Why am I so shy? Why do I take care to astound you? Why do I even try? Another rainy day We sat inside by the radiator Watching old black and white films Where everybody sang You played in my solitude You didn't get dressed 'til 2 New rain, says I I wrote this song on my guitar But it didn't turn out right Still we just connected in other ways So easy on my sake Why am I so shy around you? Why am I so shy? Why do I take care to astound you? Why do I even try? Why am I so shy around Oh why am I so shy? Why do I take care Why do I even try?

Oh oh oh... Maybe you've been puoring everything into this your mistake of this attends to agony, you contradict this when it comes to it, You can't hide from me, but don't you surrender anything. Don't you know that, that patience is a virtue (yes it is), and life is a waiting game... don't you know that, peace must be nurtured And all the money in the world can buy you nothing... (i tell you that) All these things i've found, all these things i've done for a reason, don't you go on and through it all the way... when the seasons change (you gonna change)... Oh oh... Hurts me to see you feel this way but it won't be always, don't you know everything got to change, oh... feel like all your opens gone, you can't carry on, but there's nothing oh, you don't have to pretend with me, don't you know that, that patience is a virtue, (yes it is), and life is a waiting game, don't you know that, peace must be nurtured... All the money in the world can buy you nothing, (let me tell you that)... All these things i've found, all these i've done for a reason... don't you go on through it all the way, when the seasons change Oh oh oh... When the seasons change
