The Actor

Last night I did this thing where I talked to random people at the bar
I took some big old swings and it actually got me kind of far
Rather than I ever thought I would
I used to have more confidence in college
When I knew every person at the party I was rock solid
Now I'm a stranger to Sara with no H
And I'm paying thirteen dollars for her drink

And she told me I remind her of Ted Mosby
I said: Honestly I'm flattered
She said: Don’t be
I said: Really, no I'm flattered. Ted’s annoying but I like Josh Radnor
She said: Who?
I said: The actor

I'm lonely on Long Island and I wanna let my haircut down
And I look for love online
But there’s gotta be more ways to take advantage of my prime
I mean, come on
I used to have more confidence in high school
When I won choir’s biggest heartthrob and I felt cool when I smoked
But now marijuana makes me overthink
And I'm paying eighteen dollars for a drink

And she told me I remind her of Ted Mosby
Is it cause I keep talking?
She said: Mostly
Not to say that I'm not flattered, after all I really like Josh Radnor
She said: Who?
I said: The actor
She said: Who?
I said: The actor
She said: Who?
I said: The actor who plays him
On TV (On TV)
On TV (On TV)

And I don’t recognize this person I’ve become here at the bar
I kind of like it though
I'm giving finance bro and that’s a start
And although I'm known to share my deepest secrets right away
I don’t think Sara with no H needs to know yet that I crochet
Guess I can be the actor
You can cue the laughter
I can play a character, life ain’t so different from TV
We each said: I could have another
I said: Jinx
Now I'm paying forty dollars for our drinks

And she told me I remind her of Ted Mosby
I said: Honestly, I’ll take Ted over Barney
She said: Barney’s problematic but I’ve always loved Neil Patrick Harris
I said: Who?
She said: The actor
I said: Who?
She said: The actor
Do you like him or like the actor who plays him? (On TV)
This one’s on me
