Choppy and syncopated. Album title is from this song. I like the lyric, "my therapist says, just to ask her...to go out tonight."

lyrics

Bad Actor

Shopping, in the produce aisle
When I see you and your risque smile
I'm rumpled, but you're so put together
That my name, I can't remember.

Patiently, well her hair she twirls
and I'm in love with American curls.
Stumbling as I try to speak
Your number, is so out of reach

and I want you, I'd crawl through glass just to see your
and I want you, I'm coming up the stairs just to kiss you
Faster, I'm in love with her laughter,
Faster, I'm such a bad actor
Faster, this is such disaster
Faster, let's go out tonight

The library, well who goes here anymore?
God damn, is that you by the door?
I'm a paperback, and you're a kindle,
Let's do it here, between the book ailses.

and I want you, I'd crawl through glass just to see your
and I want you, I'm coming up the stairs just to kiss you
Faster, I'm in love with her laughter,
Faster, I'm such a bad actor
Faster, my therapist says just ask her
Faster, to go out tonight
