Late Bloomer Jenny Lewis

[Verse 1]
When I turned 16, I was furious and restless
Got a Chelsea 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 gypsy
She had a ring in her nose and her eyes were changin' like mood stones

[Chorus 1]
And she said, "Open up late bloomer
It'll make you smile
I can see that fire burning
In you, little child"

[Verse 2]
Nancy came from Boston, she got in trouble very often
'Cause her parents had forgotten her, she escaped over the pond
She was searching for the writer of a song that made her shiver
She listened over and over on her Walkman cassette

[Chorus 2]
And she said, "Come with me late bloomer
For a little while
I wanna see that fire burning
In you, little child"
