lyrics

It’s been so long since we’ve talked
I’m trying not to stumble over my words
Your smile and your grin, hasn’t changed one bit
How I wish, I’d known that you would be here

To you, I’m still a child, while you’ve seen the world
Got lost in the wild, so you haven’t heard
I’ve started to bloom, late bloomer
Hour by hour, late bloomer
Flower by flower

I’ve grown
I’m taking my time, taking my time, honey
I’ve grown
I’m taking it slow, taking it slow, honey
I’ve grown
It has taken a turn, taken a turn, honey
I’ve grown
I’m taking my time, taking my time, honey

I used to let it all go to waste.
The world, got used to her bitter taste.
The thirst, the dust, I left my plants to die
But this seed has outgrown it shy.
I’ve started to bloom.

I’ve grown

I was a small town kid, and you’ve seen the world
Stepped out of the grid, so you haven’t heard
I’ve started to bloom, late bloomer
Hour by hour, late bloomer
Flower by flower

I’ve grown
I’m taking my time, taking my time, honey
I’ve grown
I’m taking it slow, taking it slow, honey
I’ve grown
It has taken a turn, taken a turn, honey
I’ve grown
I’m taking my time, taking my time, honey
