Bloom
[verse]
I’ve watched the slow unfolding of your beauty;
how you’ve bloomed as you’ve grown.
from a skinny kid with a metallic smile;
that girl I used to know.
[verse]
I remember that you had a crush on me.
called you a stupid kid.
I remember regretting that I’d said it.
pulled you close and we kissed.
[pre chorus]
You knew it wasn’t passion.
You read it in my eyes.
You cried but knew I was right.
When I said, give it time.
[chorus]
I didn’t know if you’d wait or hate me.
but I kept an eye on you.
growing more beautiful every day.
like a rose starting to bloom.
[verse]
These days you have a long line of admirers;
Guys who’d die to date you.
But you show no interest in any of them.
It’s as if they won’t do.
[verse]
I wonder, does your heart still belong to me.
If so, I'd like to know.
You’re no longer the wild eyed innocent girl
that I knew ten years ago.
[pre chorus]
I wanted more at the time
but I wasn’t that guy.
If you were to kiss me now.
I’d surely lose that fight.
[chorus]
I didn’t know if you’d wait or hate me.
but I’ve kept an eye on you.
Growing more beautiful every day;
like a rose starting to bloom.
[bridge]
You caught me looking and smiling at you.
whispered I’m ready are you?
Said, I’ve never forgotten that first kiss.
What do you think we should do?
[verse]
Circumstances have changed and you are older.
We can do as we please.
You’ve blossomed into a beautiful woman.
The woman of my dreams. [outro]
I didn’t know if you’d wait or hate me.
but I’ve kept an eye on you.
growing more beautiful every day.
you’re a rose in full bloom.

    Beautiful song Carroll, as always poetic lyrics painting a picture from minimal but visual lines.

    This is one of those lyrics that you can enjoy without even listening to it, it flows so nicely.

    As always, well worth waiting for.

  • Easy listening, almost folk vibe. Probably not a commercial song, but I can imagine this going down a treat at a singer/songwriter night!

    More of a Suno thing, but there's a long gap between verses 3 and 4 that doesn't feel like it needs to be there.

    Like the melody in the Bridge and the little pause at the end of that - makes you expectant for the answer.

    Very smooth lyric, and not overdone with the rose/bloom metaphor. Just consistently used. Nicely done!
