late bloomer

I've been thinking about 2017
When my dad used to brag that I was a gifted teen
Now he's wondering why I won't leave his house
But my art degree won't pay the rent

Ah, ah, I guess I'm just a late bloomer
Ah, ah, I need more time to get older
It feels like life's in reverse and I'm just growing younger
Ah, ah, I hope I'm just a late bloomer
I hope I'm just a late bloomer

I'm turning 22 in a week from now
Last year I left school and made my mother cry
I'm just standing there watching my friends go by
Cause I'm stressed out, burnt out, tryna be proud

Ah, ah, I guess I'm just a late bloomer
Ah, ah, I need more time to get older
It feels like life's in reverse and I'm just growing younger
Ah, ah, I hope I'm just a late bloomer
I hope I'm just a late bloomer

They thought it would be over
By the time I turned 18
But I'm still chasing these childish dream
I feel like I'm just a loser
But every day I get a little bit closer

Ah, ah, I guess I'm just a late bloomer
Ah, ah, I need more time to get older
It feels like life's in reverse and I'm just growing younger
Ah, ah, I hope I'm just a late bloomer
They thought it would be over
By the time I turned 18
But I'm still chasing these
I feel like I'm just a loser
But every day
I hope I'm just a late bloomer
