Late Bloomer

Oh, late bloomer, the rumors were true

You know, I checked your ID when you left the room

I didn't wanna see it comin', 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 waitin' round to play like an old piano

And, honey, I couldn't see the trouble

Sleepin' down deep where these lights won't go

I couldn't see the trouble underneath

I set my sights on what was alright

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 hearin' 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

And, honey, I couldn't see the trouble

Sleepin' down deep where these lights won't go

I couldn't see the trouble underneath

I set my sights on what was alright

My will didn't know where these lights won't go

I couldn't see the trouble

Oh, late bloomer, the rumors were true

I checked your ID, what was it I knew?

I didn't wanna see it comin', 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

And, honey, I couldn't see the trouble

Sleepin' down deep where these lights won't go

I couldn't see the trouble underneath

I set my sights on what was alright

And my will didn't know where these lights won't go

I couldn't see the trouble

I couldn't see the trouble

I couldn't see the trouble

Oh, late bloomer, the rumors were true
