Full Bloom
Caitlin Kraus Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look again, look closer and
Tell me what you see
'Cause I am trying to be
What you're needing now
Won't you show me how

To feel again, breathe it in
Trust in everything

In love's uncertainty?
And I'm in full bloom
As you fill the room

But you're most vulnerable
When your heart is full
It's an open field made alive and real
When you step inside

Won't you step inside?
If you step inside
When you step inside
If you step inside

Honor, please, an honest touch
All that I inquire
Is what you desire
Don't leave me wondering
And I will try to bring

All of me to all of you
Transparent as I go
'Cause I am trying to show you
Something true
Let me talk to you

But you're most vulnerable
When your heart is full
It's an open field made alive and real
When you step inside

Won't you step inside?
If you step inside

When you step inside
If you step inside

Look again, look closer and
Take a second look and examine deeply

Tell me what you see
Communicate what you have perceived

'Cause I am trying to be
Because I am attempting to become

What you're needing now
What you currently require

Won't you show me how
Can you please demonstrate it to me?

To sense emotions again, inhaling them

As you spread throughout the place

You're most exposed
