Well, behind the beauty of Coldplay's melody and arrangement, it turns out that The Scientist's song holds a deep meaning. In fact, the lyrics can make it difficult for listeners to move on.
The Scientist is about a scientist who is so focused on his work that he neglects his girlfriend. When he finally realizes his priorities, he wants to "go back to the beginning" and start over.
Coldplay's frontman Chris Martin revealed that the song was inspired by his personal "disasters" in love. He explained that while his mind is filled with big issues like the economy or the environment, the thing that worries him the most is when he's in love.
In the lyrics, we can see the scientist's regret who wants to go back to the beginning to fix his mistakes. He wants to know his partner's secrets, ask questions, and express his feelings. However, he realizes that it is not easy to go back to the beginning and start everything from zero.

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
Came to see you, told you I was sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
You don't know how beautiful you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
I have to meet you, say I need you
And tell you I set you apart
And tell you I choose you
Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions
Tell me your secrets, and ask me questions
Oh, let's go back to the start
Oh, let's start from the beginning again.
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Running in circles, chasing tail
Heads on a science apart
Separate heads in science
Nobody said it was easy
Nobody said it was easy
Oh It's such a shame for us to part
Oh, what a shame it would be if we parted
Nobody said it was easy
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Nobody said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start
Oh, take me back to the beginning
I was just guessing at numbers and figures
I'm just guessing the numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Breaking down the puzzle
Questions of science, science and progress
Questions of science, science and progress
Don't speak as loud as my heart
Don't speak as loudly as my heart
So tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Kadi said if you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh, and I rush to the start
Oh, and I'm rushing to the start again
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Running in circles, chasing tails
Coming back as we are
Back to being ourselves
Nobody said it was easy
Nobody said it was easy
Oh It's such a shame for us to part
Oh, what a shame it would be if we parted
Nobody said it was easy
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Nobody said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start
Oh, take me back to the beginning
Ooooohhhhhhh [x4]
