A patient reset song about choosing to begin again without pretending the past did not happen. Written for the original 52lyrics catalog, this track belongs to The Midnight Echo's connected late-night songbook.
We kept the receipts from the plans that failed
Names of the stations and roads we bailed
Nothing is wasted if something is learned
Even a bridge can be crossed when it burned
Take me back to the start, not back in time
Keep every scar and redraw every line
We know what breaks and we know what is hard
Take me as I am, back to the start
No clean slate, no vanishing act
Just room for a future that carries the facts
Open the window, unfasten the heart
Meet me right here, back at the start
