Lyrics of 'For a Fool' by 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'd do,
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 could learn
Anything from this then I'd be like
The fox in the fable all right

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
