Late Bloomer lyrics

Oh, late bloomer, the rumors were true
You know, I checked your ID when you left the room
I didn't want to see it coming, I showed off my heart
Now there's a scar in the shape of a question mark
Oh, late bloomer, the rumors were true
And scattered leaves are all that's left of you

I never thought I'd be the marrying kind
It was nothing to be always left behind
From the ship that was sailed with everyone on it
I said, Give me the land, I know what I want and where I'm wanted
But you came in whistling, I'll go if you'll go
And I was waiting around to play like an old piano

[Chorus]
And honey, I couldn't see the trouble
Sleeping down deep, where these lights won't go
I couldn't see the trouble underneath
I set my sights on what was all right
My will didn't know where these lights won't go
I couldn't see the trouble underneath

Who knew it would be you through the wall,
Listening in to a voice on a call
And hearing the strings and shoot 'em up sure
Little did I know then, oh little did I know
Long before listening forever
Was shot down before it was ever delivered

[Chorus]

Oh, late bloomer, the rumors were true
I checked your ID, what was it I knew
I didn't want to see it coming, I showed off my heart
Now there's a scar in the shape of a question mark
Oh, late bloomer, the rumors were true
And scattered leaves are all that's left of you

[Chorus]
