First dates… yeah, they’ll mess with your head a little What do I wear, where do we go Play it cool or let it show Strong and steady, or let her see A little bit more of the real me Do I reach out, take her hand Or let that moment make the plan Heart’s beatin’ like a backroad drum Tryin’ to act like I ain’t undone I bet she’s feelin’ the same kinda thing Little bit of nerves, little hope in between First night, sparks in the air Two hearts hopin’ somebody cares Every smile, every glance Feels like fallin’ into a chance Man she’s beautiful… say it once, don’t rush She lights up with just that much First night, easy and free Feels like she’s right where she oughta be Drive a little slow but I’m feelin’ fast Hopin’ this night don’t end too fast Pullin’ up, take a breath Hope she ain’t ready before I get set Door swings open right on time That smile hits me like summer shine Yeah, she’s been waitin’, I can tell And that just fits me way too well We get to laughin’ like old best friends Right there, I don’t want it to end First night, sparks in the air Two hearts meetin’ halfway there Every laugh, every line Pulls me closer every time Yeah she’s beautiful… might say it twice She just laughs and rolls her eyes First night, light and true Feels like somethin’ I don’t wanna lose Took the long way back tonight Didn’t wanna miss one second goin’ by Porch light glow, her hand in mine Everything just feelin’ right Do I wait… or take that chance Right here in this moment we got I said, “I had a real good time…” She smiled, leaned in, closed that line First night, hearts on the line Didn’t take long, felt just right Didn’t have to wonder, didn’t have to guess She said it all with that kiss No more nerves, no more doubt Every little feelin’ played out First night turned into this Somethin’ real… from a first night kiss (steel + piano fade) Yeah… first dates’ll shake you up… But sometimes… they line right up
