“Watch Me While I Bloom” is an uplifting track that dials back to the flower metaphors that inspired this album. Here, Hayley feels new again and willing to move forward with her life and compares herself to a flower who’s blooming and getting to the best part of her life.
[Verse 1]
How lucky I feel
To be in my body again
How lovely I feel
Not to have to pretend
Shocking to feel
A positive charge
Innocuous thrill
Big invisible spark (Hmm)
[Chorus]
You wanna look inside of me?
And just watch me bloom
You only got one side of me
Here's something new, ah
I'm alive in spite of me
And I'm on the move
So come and look inside of me
Watch me while I bloom, ah
Wanna look inside of me?
And just watch me bloom
You only got one side of me
Here's something new, ah
I'm alive in spite of me
And I'm on the move
So come and look inside of me
Watch me while I bloom, ah
[Verse 2]
If you feel like you're never gonna reach the sky
'Til you pull up your roots, leave your dirt behind
Baby, you got a lot of shit to learn
[Chorus]
You wanna look inside of me?
And just watch me bloom
You only got one side of me
Here's something new, ah
I'm alive in spite of me
And I'm on the move
So come and look inside of me
Watch me while I bloom, ah
Wanna look inside of me?
And just watch me bloom
You only got one side of me
Here's something new, ah
I'm alive in spite of me
And I'm on the move
So come and look inside of me
Watch me while I bloom, ah
[Bridge]
If you feel like you're never gonna reach the sky
'Til you pull up your roots, leave your dirt behind
Ooh, got a lot to learn
Got a lot, got a lot, got a lot
You got a lot to learn
Got a lot, got a lot, got a lot
[Chorus]
You wanna look inside of me?
And just watch me bloom
You only got one side of me
Here's something new, ah
I'm alive in spite of me
And I'm on the move
So come and look inside of me
Watch me while I bloom, ooh, ooh
You wanna look inside of me?
And just watch me bloom
You only got one side of me
Here's something new, ah
I'm alive in spite of me
And I'm on the move
So come and look inside of me
Watch me while I bloom, yeah
[Outro]
You wanna look inside of me?
Watch me while I bloom, yeah
You only got one side of me
Watch me while I bloom, yeah
I'm alive in spite of me
Watch me while I bloom, yeah
So come and look inside of me
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
