The Shins - For A Fool

Young and bright
but now just a dim light
off in the distance
a fallen 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 fool
Tell me what you’d do
Lost my way
in spades
I need a school
So many times
caught up in my head at night
with a leash and label
If I can learn
anything from this
then I’d be like
the fox in the fable oh right
If I still fight
it’s just that I’m
afraid I’ll slide under that spell again
The way we used to carry on
you’re stuck in my head
like a terrible song
Taken for a fool
Yes I was
and I was fool
Following their rules
guess I wasn’t very honest too
Taken for a fool
Taken for a fool
Yes I was
because I was fool
Taken for a fool
Young and bright
but now just a dim light
off in the distance
a fallen 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 fool
Tell me what you’d do
Lost my way
in spades
I need a school
So many times
caught up in my head at night
with a leash and label
If I can learn
anything from this
then I’d be like
the fox in the fable oh right
If I still fight
it’s just that I’m
afraid I’ll slide under that spell again
The way we used to carry on
you’re stuck in my head
like a terrible song
Taken for a fool
Yes I was
and I was fool
Following their rules
guess I wasn’t very honest too
Taken for a fool
Taken for a fool
Yes I was
because I was fool
Taken for a fool
