[Verse 1] I’ve changed my shirt about six times now Got a pile of “no’s” all over the couch Black dress says trouble Blue one says sweet Neither one knows what tonight might mean Mascara wand in a trembling hand Laughin’ at myself like “girl, get a grip” It’s just one date Just one man So why’s my heart actin’ like this? [Pre-Chorus] And I’ve read those texts More than I should He sounds even better Than I remembered he would [Chorus] It’s half past seven And I’m still not ready Standin’ in front of this mirror Tryin’ to act steady He’s pickin’ me up at eight And Lord, I can’t decide If I’m more scared he’ll disappoint me Or if he’ll be everything I like It’s half past seven And time won’t sit still [Verse 2] My friends keep blowin’ up my phone Wantin’ updates every ten minutes or so Like somehow they’ve all become invested In this thing I’ve barely admitted I stop and smile at one text line “Looking forward to tonight” Simple words But somehow they hit Different than they should [Pre-Chorus] Cause the guys before Always came on strong Funny how the good ones Don’t have to try that hard [Chorus] It’s half past seven And I’m still not ready Lipstick on the counter Nerves gettin’ heavy He’s pickin’ me up at eight And Lord, I can’t decide If I’m more scared he’ll disappoint me Or if he’ll be everything I like It’s half past seven And time won’t sit still [Bridge] Maybe it’s the way he listens Maybe it’s the way he stays Maybe it’s the way I don’t feel Like I gotta play a game Maybe it’s not butterflies Maybe it’s peace wearin’ a different name [Final Chorus] It’s half past seven And now I’m finally ready One last look in the mirror Tryin’ to hold steady He’s pullin’ in the drive And Lord, I can’t help but smile Funny how a man I spent years avoidin’ Might be worth the while It’s half past seven And he’s right on time
