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 And 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 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 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

Chris Martin escreveu “The Scientist” depois de ouvir “All Things Must Pass”, de George Harrison.
Enquanto trabalhava no segundo álbum da banda, *A Rush of Blood to the Head*, Martin percebeu que o disco estava faltando algo e acabou se inspirando numa noite em Liverpool.
Naquela noite, ele encontrou um piano antigo e desafinado e tentou trabalhar na música “Isn’t It a Pity”, de Harrison, mas não conseguiu.
O gravador foi ligado e Martin notou uma sequência de acordes que chamou a atenção, descrevendo‑a como “maravilhosa”.
As gravações dos vocais e do piano foram feitas em um estúdio de Liverpool, onde Martin capturou a essência da faixa.
O verso da capa interna de *A Rush of Blood to the Head* diz “The Scientist is Dan”, referência ao A&R Dan Keeling que assinou a banda com a Parlophone.
