The Scientist
Tyler Ward Kina Grannis & Lindsey Stirling Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you I'll set you apart
Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions
Oh let's go back to the start
Running in circles, coming in tails
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
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
Ooooohhhhhhh
Ooooohhhhhhh
Ooooohhhhhhh
Ooooohhhhhhh
The song "The Scientist" by Tyler Ward, Lindsey Stirling, and Kina Grannis is a heartfelt ballad about regret and the desire to start over. The opening lyrics "Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry" sets the tone for a remorseful tone, where the singer wants to apologize to a loved one who they have hurt. They express their admiration towards their loved one, telling them "You don't know how lovely you are" and how they need and want them in their life. They acknowledge the difficulties they have faced in their relationship, where both parties are "Running in circles" and lives are "coming in tails." They long for a fresh start where they can be as they are, without any pretenses or struggles.
The song's chorus "Nobody said it was easy, No one ever said it would be this hard" reinforces the idea that love and relationships are not always easy, but the love shared between two people makes it all worthwhile. The singer is willing to put in the effort to make the relationship work because love is worth fighting for. The line "Questions of science, science, and progress do not speak as loud as my heart" suggests that even though logic and reasoning play an essential role in life, when it comes to love, the heart speaks louder than reason.
Line by Line Meaning
Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
Approaching you to tell you I apologize
You don't know how lovely you are
You are unaware of your own beauty
I had to find you, tell you I need you
I was compelled to search for you and express my need for you
Tell you I'll set you apart
Assuring you that I will make you stand out
Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions
Confide in me and seek my thoughts on your inquiries
Oh let's go back to the start
Let's rewind to the beginning of our relationship
Running in circles, coming in tails
Repeating the same actions with no progress
Heads on a science apart
Our minds are focused on different aspects of life
Nobody said it was easy
This situation is not simple
It's such a shame for us to part
It is regrettable for us to separate
No one ever said it would be this hard
No one prepared us for such a difficult experience
Oh, take me back to the start
Oh, I wish to go back to the beginning
I was just guessing at numbers and figures
I was only estimating calculations and statistics
Pulling your puzzles apart
Analyzing and trying to solve the mysteries of your mind
Questions of science, science and progress
Inquiries about the latest discoveries and advancements
Do not speak as loud as my heart
My emotions are stronger and more important than scientific theories
Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Reveal your love for me, even if only in spirit form
Oh and I rush to the start
Oh, and I rapidly try to return to the beginning
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Repeating the same actions with no progress, as if chasing our own tails
Coming back as we are
Returning to our current state of being
Ooooohhhhhhh

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
