[Verse 1]
Sugar water to the brim, they told me it'd be spring
Early September and my first glimpse of tiny wings
Summer's coming to an end, magnolias are in bloom
Well, Birmingham this time of year is giving me hope, too
Giving me hope, too

[Chorus]
I'm a late bloomer (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I'm a late bloomer (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
This is surely true (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
It doesn't matter when you bloom
It matters that you do (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Verse 2]
Keeping track and counting down again, I'm overdue
Watching everyone around get there before I do
Looking in the mirror at this body that we trace
But looking out the window, late bloomers on parade
Late bloomers on parade

[Chorus]
I'm a late bloomer (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I'm a late bloomer (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
This is surely true (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
It doesn't matter when you bloom
It matters that you do (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Refrain]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm a late bloomer (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I'm a late bloomer (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
This is surely true (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
It doesn't matter when you bloom
It matters that you do (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Outro]
It matters that you do (Matters that you do)
It matters that you do (Matters that you do)
It matters that you do (Matters that you do)
It matters that you do (Matters that you do)
It matters that you do (Matters that you do)
It matters that you do (Matters that you do)
It matters that you do (Matters that you do)
It doesn't matter when you bloom
It matters that you do
