Background[]
"Part of it was getting my cycle back. My body was just a foreign concept to me for a while, so feeling biologically connected to myself again was powerful. The whole year of 2017, my only goal was to gain back some weight that I had lost due to anxiety and coping mechanisms that weren’t healthy for me. It’s just been a season of my life where I feel like: Holy shit. I’m returning to myself. This is crazy."

Lyrics[]
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)
You wanna look inside of me?
And just watch me bloom
You only got one side of me
Here's something new, I
I'm alive in spite of me
And I'm on my move
So come and look inside of me
Watch me while I bloom
I wanna look inside of me
And just watch me bloom
You only got one side of me
Here's something new, I
I'm alive in spite of me
And I'm on my move
So come and look inside of me
Watch me while I bloom, I
If you feel like you're never gonna reach the sky
Till you pull up your roots, leave your dirt behind
Baby you got a lot of shit to learn
You wanna look inside of me?
And just watch me bloom
You only got one side of me
Here's something new, I
I'm alive in spite of me
And I'm on my move
So come and look inside of me
Watch me while I bloom
I wanna look inside of me
And just watch me bloom
You only got one side of me
Here's something new, I
I'm alive in spite of me
And I'm on my move
So come and look inside of me
Watch me while I bloom, I
If you feel like you're never gonna reach the sky
Till 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
You wanna look inside of me?
And just watch me bloom
You only got one side of me
Here's something new, I
I'm alive in spite of me
And I'm on my move
So come and look inside of me
Watch me while I bloom
Wanna look inside of me
And just watch me bloom
You only got one side of me
Here's something new, I
I'm alive in spite of me
And I'm on my move
So come and look inside of me
Watch me while I bloom, yeah
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
