Late Bloomer Lyrics - The Voyager - Jenny Lewis

When I turned 16 I was furious and restless 

Got a chancy girl haircut and a plane ticket to Paris 

I stayed there with Pansy, he had a studio in the seventh 

Lost his lover to a sickness, I slept beside him in his bed 

That's when I met Nancy, she was smoking on a gipsy 

She had a ring in her nose and her eyes were changing like moonstones 

She said "Open up late bloomer, it will make you smile 

I can see that fire burning, in you little child." 

Nancy came from Boston, she got in trouble very often 

Cause her parents had forgotten her, she would skate over the pond 

She was searching for the writer of a song that made her shiver 

She listened over and over on a Walkman cassette 

She said "Come with me late bloomer, for a little while, 

I wanna see that fire burning, in you little child."

How could I resist her, I had longed for a big sister 

And I wanted to kiss her, but I hadn't done that 

We found the writer, he was just some kid from Boston 

I was jealous as I watched him talking to her 

But man he's not astonish, didn't look like no Adonis 

But as Nancy had promised, he was heavy as led 

And he said "Come with us late bloomer, for a little while, 

We wanna feel that fire burning, in you little child."

Give me my candor, but I just had to have her 

And at the time I didn't mind sharing with him 

He rode in silence, all the way back to the seventh 

And I promised I'd write her but I never did 

And she said "Au revoir, late bloomer, for a little while, 

You gotta keep the fire burning, in you little child."
