I like to learn things slow
I like learning a lot
I like to get it all again and in the end
You know you get what you got

I like to mean what I say (ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo)
But it don't always come through (ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo)
Because if I say it all again, again, again
It doesn't make it more true

CHORUS
And the world's like a science
And I'm like a secret
And I saw you lingering still (still)
I saw you lingering still

It's all just news to me (ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo)
Don't really care if it hurts (ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo)
Because if I knock it I won't know it
Then I know that it will only get worse

He was different at first (ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo)
But then he won't understand (ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo)
Because he's never going to know me
If he doesn't want to just shake my hand

CHORUS
And the world's like a science
And I'm like a secret
And I saw you lingering still (still)
I saw you lingering still

{instrumental}

CHORUS
And the world's like a science
And I'm like a secret
And I saw you lingering still (still)
I saw you lingering still

And the world's like a science
And I'm like a secret
And I saw you lingering still
I saw you lingering still
