This song is about that first date after a tragic relationship. Getting back into the dating scene is a harrowing task because sometimes you're still hung up on your last relationship. When she go on that date the first time, all she sees is her insecurities and all the things her ex didn't like about her (high heel). She walks in with the notion that love is useless because she was burned in her last relationship. She has a fear of putting herself out there again, because she doesn't want to end up with a broken heart.
At first she's reserved because she's weighing her options and wondering if it's all worth it. Then she finds herself enjoying herself because she hasn't thought about her ex, and she's surprised because this guy actually likes the same stuff she likes and is interested in what she has to say. This guy respects her, and does small actions she notices like pulling her chair out for her, that mean the world to her because she's seen the worst out of guys.
By the end of the song, she almost brings her ex up, but she realizes it doesn't matter because it's past. She's starting to see that she can be happy again, and that it's possible to fall in love again.

It's a beautifully crafted, yet simple song.
