Double Text Tuesday

Double text Tuesday
Yeah, I sent it twice
You can call me eager
I can call you tonight

Told the group I don't chase, then I checked it again
Had a whole little speech about being my own man
Now the screen's on the counter like it's part of the meal
I can dress it up smooth but the waiting is real
Sent a joke, sent a question, sent a picture of my dog
That's a lot of conversation for a man playing calm
You replied with a voice note, I forgot how to speak
Had me grinning at a freezer in the middle of the week

Double text Tuesday
Yeah, I sent it twice
You can call me eager
I can call you tonight

Now we're picking out a time, I can put the phone down
Got a date and a place on the far side of town
No more cryptic little posts like a weather report
I can say I want to see you, I can keep it that short
If you like me, say you like me, we got work in the morn
I don't need a three-day silence just to look less warm
Let the boys keep their rules, let the screen go black
Got a real person waiting and I'm texting her back

Send it
Say it
Double text Tuesday
Quit playing

Double text Tuesday
Yeah, I sent it twice
You can call me eager
I can call you tonight
