I want to start fresh, like a baby in a sink Scrub away all these thoughts that i think of you

Artist- Ingrid Michaelson
Song of the day- Starting Now

It seems that I can't get away from babies on the brain this quarter. I constantly study them, listen to my friends wanting them, constantly read and watch and sometimes help them come out and stay alive and it's weird and gross and scary and fantastic and painful and did I mention weird? But I can't get over the fascination of watching someone's story begin, the actual beginning and being scared for them and everything they will face in their story but also jealous of them, in my constant starting overs in life, to get a chance to actually go back to that time where you were fully ignorant and fully content and safe and didn't know all the mistakes you'd make, all the time's you'd be hurt and all the adventure ahead of you that you don't know to be afraid of yet. All that junk is what makes up life though, I'm not denying that, but it has made me appreciate the beginning more. To all your beginnings, old ones and the one's starting now, this one's for you.




I want to crawl back inside my mother's womb
I want to shut out all the lights in this room
I want to start fresh, like a baby in a sink
Scrub away all these thoughts that i think of you

So life moves slowly when you're waiting for it to boil
Feel like i watch from 6 feet under the soil
Still want to hold you and kiss behind your ears
But i re count the countless tears that i lost for you

But before you finally go there's one thing you should know: That I promise -

Starting now I'll never know your name
Starting now I'll never feel the same
Starting now I wish you never came into my world.

I want to crawl back inside my bed of sin
I want to burn the sheets that smell like your skin
Instead I'll wash them just like kitchen rags with stains
Spinning away every piece that remains of you.

But before you finally go there's one thing you should know: That I promise -

Starting now I'll never know your name
Starting now I'll never feel the same
Starting now I wish you never came into my world.

It's my world, it's not ours anymore
It's my world, it's not ours anymore

Starting now I'll never know your name
Starting now I'll never feel the same
Starting now I wish you never came into my world.
I want to crawl back inside my mother's womb
I want to shut out all the lights in this room
I want to start fresh, like a baby in a sink
Scrub away all these thoughts that i think of you

So life moves slowly when you're waiting for it to boil
Feel like i watch from 6 feet under the soil
Still want to hold you and kiss behind your ears
But i re count the countless tears that i lost for you

But before you finally go there's one thing you should know: That I promise -

Starting now I'll never know your name
Starting now I'll never feel the same
Starting now I wish you never came into my world.

I want to crawl back inside my bed of sin
I want to burn the sheets that smell like your skin
Instead I'll wash them just like kitchen rags with stains
Spinning away every piece that remains of you.

But before you finally go there's one thing you should know: That I promise -

Starting now I'll never know your name
Starting now I'll never feel the same
Starting now I wish you never came into my world.

It's my world, it's not ours anymore
It's my world, it's not ours anymore

Starting now I'll never know your name
Starting now I'll never feel the same
Starting now I wish you never came into my world.
