Late Bloomer Lyrics
I've been learning how to stand
in the in-between
not where I was
and not where I'm supposed to be
they're posting ultrasounds
and wedding rings
I'm spilling Diet Coke
on my favorite jeans
I thought I missed my moment
or that I broke something
I can't fix
maybe I'm just growing
slower than I expected it
Oh I'm a
Late Bloomer
no I couldn't
heal sooner
had to
start the whole thing over
all my
20s were for closure
Oh I'm a
Late Bloomer
looking at a
good future
no I'll
have it all one day
I'll be okay
even if it's all
a little late
whenever I go home
I feel like an alien
I show them my new tattoos
my dad just shakes his head
they're all buying houses
while I'm
going on the road
they think it's crazy
that this is what I chose
I thought I missed my moment
or that I broke something
I can't fix
maybe I'm just growing
slower than I expected it
Oh I'm a
Late Bloomer
no I couldn't
heal sooner
had to
start the whole thing over
all my
20s were for closure
Oh I'm a
Late Bloomer
looking at a
good future
no I'll
have it all one day
I'll be okay
even if it's all
a little late
Late Bloomer
no I couldn't
start the whole thing over
all my
20s were for closure
Oh I'm a
Late Bloomer
looking at a
have it all one day
I'll be okay
even if it's all
a little late
I've been learning
how to stand
in the in-between
not where I was
and not where I'm supposed to be
