"Late Bloom" lyrics

Everybody bloomed in June
Bright and loud and way too soon
I was still down in the dirt
Learnin' what a root is worth

They said I missed the season
Said the good part came and went
But nobody told the October sun
It was already spent

I'm a late bloom, autumn child
Openin' up when the leaves turn wild
Everybody had their summer, I'm just findin' mine
Late bloom, but it's real took me all this time

Soft gold light on the windowsill
Took me longer, but I'm here, I'm still
All those summers I wasn't ready
Now I'm openin', and my hands are steady

Late isn't wrong, it's just late
Some things need the cold to make them wait
I wasn't broken, wasn't behind
I was just takin' my time

I'm a late bloom, autumn child
Openin' up when the leaves turn wild
Everybody had their summer, I'm just findin' mine
Late bloom, but it's real took me all this time

And you you showed up in October too
Nobody's early, nobody's late when it's you
Two late blooms in the same gold light
Turns out we were right on time

I'm a late bloom, autumn child
Openin' up when the leaves turn wild
Everybody had their summer, I'm just findin' mine
Late bloom and it's real this time
