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
