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
