Late Bloomer

(album: Saturn Return - 2020)

Sugarwater to the brim
They told me it'd be spring
Early September and my first
Glimpse of tiny wings
Summer's coming to an end
Magnolias are in bloom

Well, Birmingham this time of year
Is giving me hope, too
Giving me hope, too

I'm a late bloomer
I'm a late bloomer
This is surely true
It doesn't matter when you bloom
It matters that you do

Keeping track and counting down
Again, I'm overdue
Watching everyone around
Get there before I do
Looking in the mirror, at this
Body that betrays

But looking out the window
Late bloomers on parade
Late bloomers on parade

I'm a late bloomer
I'm a late bloomer
This is surely true
It doesn't matter when you bloom
It matters that you do

Yeah, I'm a late bloomer
I'm a late bloomer
This is surely true
It doesn't matter when you bloom
It matters that you do

It matters that you do (matters that you do)
It matters that you do (matters that you do)
It matters that you do (matters that you do)
It matters that you do (matters that you do)
It matters that you do (matters that you do)
It matters that you do (matters that you do)
It matters that you do (matters that you do)

It's doesn't matter when you bloom
It matters that you do
