For a Fool Songtext

von The Shins

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.

Take him 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.

Take him for a fool.
Yes, I was,
And I was fool.

Following their rules,
Guess I wasn't very honest too.

Take him for a fool.
(Take him for a fool.)
Yes, I was,
Because I was fool.

Take him for a fool.
