Late Bloomer

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]
