Bloom
The Paper Kite Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the morning when I wake
And the sun is coming through,
Oh, you fill my lungs with sweetness,
And you fill my head with you.

Shall I write it in a letter?
Shall I try to get it down?
Oh, you fill my head with pieces
Of a song I can't get out.

Can I be close to you?
Oh-oh-oh-ooh, ooh
Can I be close to you?
Ooh, ooh.

Can I take it to a morning
Where the fields are painted gold
And the trees are filled with memories
Of the feelings never told?

When the evening pulls the sun down,
And the day is almost through,
Oh, the whole world it is sleeping,
But my world is you.

Can I be close to you (Ah)?
Ooh (aah), ooh (aah).
Can I be close to you (Ah)?
Ooh (aah), ooh (aah).

Can I be close to you (Ah)?
Ooh (aah), ooh (aah).
Can I be close to you (Ah)?
Ooh (aah), ooh (aah).





Can I be close to you?
Ooh, ooh.

Oh, you fill my lungs with sweetness
And you fill my head with you
Shall I write it in a letter?

Bloom Lyrics

In the morning when I wake
And the sun is coming through,
Oh, you fill my lungs with sweetness,
And you fill my head with you.

Shall I write it in a letter?
Shall I try to get it down?
Oh, you fill my head with pieces
Of a song I can't get out.

Can I be close to you?
Oh-oh-oh-ooh, ooh
Can I be close to you?
Ooh, ooh.

Can I take it to a morning
Where the fields are painted gold
And the trees are filled with memories
Of the feelings never told?

When the evening pulls the sun down,
And the day is almost through,
Oh, the whole world it is sleeping,
But my world is you.

Can I be close to you (Ah)?
Ooh (aah), ooh (aah).
Can I be close to you (Ah)?
Ooh (aah), ooh (aah).

Can I be close to you (Ah)?
Ooh (aah), ooh (aah).
Can I be close to you (Ah)?
Ooh (aah), ooh (aah).

Can I be close to you?
Ooh, ooh.

Here's to all you single folks that listen to this song dreaming of the day when you'll find your special someone, I can't be the only one, right?

@nicolealexandra1392

:((( same, i want to learn how to play this song just to dedicate it to my future gf :(((

@lelo8244

I'm the queen of single! I've been single since birth and I'm pretty, I know cause new guys slide into my dms at least 4 times a week. I just haven't met a man that doesn't make me feel like I have to defend myself and my peace. Does anyone understand that? 😄
I've built an environment of love, peace and happiness within myself and I'd hate for anyone to come ruin that for me. I feel safer single but it gets a little lonely sometimes

@SoniaRossi72

No you're not.....Though...Maybe some of us are just meant to be single.

Even the comments are so lovely and warm

@halcyon_echo42

It would be so gentle and warm, like a yellow summer's afternoon with just the faintest breeze

@romishaya6919

@blake8109

I think the song would be a beautiful girl who feels like a cool breeze and would lay on the ground holding me while we watch the clouds
