Late Bloomer

I tried to be a wild child

It was better than a wallflower

But it didn't feel right

No, it didn't feel real

I'd dip my toes in the water

Scared to step any farther

Feeling left behind

My mama would say to me

Hey late bloomer

You don't have to fly sooner

You can take your time before you take off

They may all fly by

You're gonna catch 'em when it's time

And know, there's nothing wrong

You're just a little late bloomer, that's all

And you might kiss a few boys

Before your heart makes the right choice

But love will come, you will see

That life ain't a big race

And you might fall on your face

So if you're feeling left behind

Keep remembering...

Hey late bloomer

You don't have to fly sooner

You can take your time before you take off

They may all fly by

You're gonna catch 'em when it's time

And know, there's nothing wrong

You're just a little late bloomer, that's all

Don't you grow up too fast

Gotta tryin' even if you're last

You can walk, you don't have to run

Hey late bloomer

Hey late bloomer

Take your time before you take off

They may all fly by

You're gonna pass 'em when it's time

And know, there's nothing wrong

You're just a little late bloomer, that's all

Hey late bloomer

Hey late bloomer

You're a little late bloomer, that's all
