Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yes darling, you'd be lovely
For the night, for the night
I met you in the summer
But I had to go and love her
And waste my time, waste my time
Or am I wrong?
For loving you for so long?
'Cuz baby I've been tripping
I don't mind, I swear I lost my place
Looked inside the mirror all I see is my distorted face
Baby could you love me?
Yes darling, you'd be lovely
For the night, for the night
I met you in the summer
But I had to go and love her
And waste my time, waste my time
She said she wouldn't hurt me
But I guess she don't deserve me
And that's just fine, that's just fine
So kiss me like we're lovers
We're perfect for each other
For the night, for the night
The lyrics to sage.'s song Blossom are an introspection of the singer's love life. It appears the singer had fallen in love with a person (Baby), but they could not be together for some reason. In the past, the singer met Baby in the summer, but he had to leave to love someone else (her), a decision which he now deems as a waste of his time. The singer is now at a crossroads; he wants to know if his feelings for Baby are wrong or if he was wrong for loving her for so long. At this point, the singer is also dealing with personal struggles, as he admits to tripping and losing his place. He feels his reflection in the mirror is distorted and that the person he sees there is not who he wants to be.
However, despite all of this, the singer still yearns for Baby's love. He believes that she would be lovely to him for the night. He reflects on the fact that the previous love interest (she) had promised not to hurt him but ended up doing so. He feels that she did not deserve him and is now willing to move on. Finally, the singer asks Baby to kiss him like they are lovers as he believes they are perfect for each other.
Overall, the lyrics to Blossom appear to be an exploration of the singer's love life, the choices they have made, the struggles they have faced and the desire to move forward.
