song lyrics

[yvonne2345]

hey you!
I'm german and i just want to ask someone if i get some song lyrics right...
It's about coldplay's "scientist"...->
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 silence 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
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????
...so. i guess i get the gist of it, but i'm not quite sure. and especially the lines with question marks i don't really understand...
it would be very, very, VERY kind of you to help me get it!!!

Hello Yvonne

Here are a couple of answers – maybe other members will have some ideas too:

"Coming up tails" is a reference to tossing a coin. (When you toss a coin, it's either "heads" or "tails".)

"Chasing our tails": young animals sometimes chase their own tails. It's a metaphor for "doing something pointless".

Good luck!
