Late Bloomer

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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...

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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
