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

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

I'm going back to the start

Son sit down,
And I will tell you a story,
About the young man I was,
So desperate for glory

A proud and vain fool,
But I was the envy of men,
Because the woman I loved,
Loved the heart of me then.

Stole away, to hide in the stars,
All that I knew,
I'll never say

They called me a hero,
The great, the righteous one,
But son I've spent the rest of my life wishing to,
Undo all that I've done

Oh the White river glows,
With the light of the moon,
As they turned her to stone,
Oh the white river burns,
With the light of the moon,
As the starlight returns

Son she sang,
To the heart of man,
Although many have tried,
They were my ships at sea,

That touched down on their shore,
And I would destroy them again,
Those who called it her fate, but the truth of it is,
I gave her to them
