Starting Now - Ingrid Michaelson

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 six feet under the soil

Still want to hold you and kiss behind your ears

But I recount the countless tears that I lost for you

Before you finally go, before you 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 any piece that remains of you

Before you finally go, before you go

Oh, 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 my world

It’s not ours anymore, anymore

Starting now, never know your name

Starting now, never feel the same

Starting now, starting now

(It's my world, it’s my world, it’s my world)

Starting now, starting now

(It's my world, it’s my world, it’s my world)

Starting now, starting now

(It's my world)

Wish you never came into my world

Starting now, starting now, into my world

Starting now, starting now, into my world

Starting now
