The Shins - For a Fool

 

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
