Actor Lyrics by ​whenyoung

Actor / Silverchair

2017

[Verse 1]
Spend the morning with the mirror
All the moments that we share
Our little secret, don't you know
To make you feel good, do you?

I look better when I'm weak
When I'm tired and I don't eat
My life is dreamy, don't you know?
You wanna be me, maybe?

[Chorus]
You can be an actor for a while
Practice taking pictures with the smile

[Verse 2]
It's even better than they say
Starlit nights, extended days
You get the feeling watching it
Rose tinted dreamers dreaming

All the movies that I see
All the frames that make me free
They give me personality
It's so much better knowing

[Chorus]
You can be an actor for a while
Practice taking pictures with the smile
I wanna be an actor for a while
It would be a clever use of time

[Bridge]
Tell me who has the answers
The answers, the answers
The place is just full of chancers
The chancers, the chancers

I wanna have all the answers
The answers, the answers
Can somebody turn the lights on?
I wanna see

[Chorus]
Oh, you can be an actor for a while
Practice taking pictures with the smile
I wanna be an actor for a while
It would be a clever use of time
