Lyrics that hit the heart

I have never really been a fan of lyrics of songs. Pretty much the main reason I listen to music is for the sound and the tone or beat. Lately, I have been dissecting lyrics in songs as they come alive in certain songs. I write about certain songs on TDLML as if they are helping through certain situations in my life.

During my enriching marriage with Amy, I would find songs that I wished would remind me of our time together. I would listen to music and use that inspiration to help me plan special nights or use the lyrics to add to inspire my writing.

I like Coldplay. Chris Martin has a wonderful Prose while writing his songs. The song The Scientist has been a favorite of mine for a while. I used to dance with her to this because I thought that it was a great love song at the time.

Lately, I have been looking more into the lyrics as a cure to my consistent happiness. However as I was singing the lyrics to The Scientist the other day, the words hit me for a loop. It was just strange to me that we would dance to this song as a love song, when after 8 years of marriage the lyrics actually came to fruition. The bolded words were actually happening. It's weird how things happen like that sometime.



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 lets go back to the start.
Running in circles, Comin' 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 guessin' 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.
Runnin' in circles, Chasin' tails
Comin' 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 goin' back to the start.
