For A Fool - The Shins

Young and bright

But now just a dim light

Off in the distance

A falling stone

Following the path

Of least resistance

If I still fight, it’s just that I’m

Afraid I’ll slide under that spell again

Taken for a fool

Yes, I was because I was a fool

Tell me what you do

I lost my way in shades of neither school

So many times

Caught up in my head at night

With a leash and a label

If I can learn

Anything from this, then I’d be like

The fox in the fable of

If I still fight, it’s just that I’m

Afraid I’ll fall into that spell again

The way we used to carry on

Is stuck in my head like a terrible song

Taken for a fool

Yes I was, and I was a fool

Following their rules

Guess I was a very honest tune

Taken for a fool

Yes I was, because I was a fool
