Intro (x 2) verse 1 It's just a stone's throw from here to eternity From the back road to where I long to be The world has changed leaving only the truth intact You think it's a game, to me it means more than that But I'm a late bloomer, I'm a slow learner And I've turned the record over I'm a long player, my song is my savior I've got to raise it up As far as my spirit can reach (x2) That everyone might see verse 2 Within earshot of rose colored dreamers at best I don't mean to eavesdrop, it's just part of my job I guess At one glance they don't know the truth by half How announcing your plans is a sure way to hear god laugh Pre-Chorus Like a crab apple on the tree They'll find life more bitter than sweet But I'm a late bloomer, I'm a slow learner And I've heard the penny drop I'm a small player with a tall order To come out on top And without selling my soul That everyone might know that I'm a late bloomer Solo (x4) Pre-Chorus From a turntable to a phone From a revolution to a ring tone Instrumental (x2) But I'm a late bloomer, I'm a slow learner And I've turned the record over I'm a long player, my song is my savior Got to raise it up, ooh I'm a late bloomer, I'm a slow learner And I've heard the penny drop I'm a small player with a tall order To come out on top And without selling my soul That's how a flower grows And I'm a late bloomer I'm a late bloomer I'm a late bloomer
