Late Bloomer

Late Bloomer - Sarah Harmer

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

Don t you grow up too fast

Gotta tryin even if you re last

You can walk you don t have to run

Take your time before you take off

You re gonna pass em when it s time

You re a little late bloomer that s all
