From the days when you were still in school 
pushed your finger tip til it turned blue 
and you doubted everything you learned 
second guessed the best that you can do

well you're growing older 
and i think you would have learned 
all you're getting over 
don't you know it will return

you silly fool 
you must be blind 
oh you silly fool 
you must be blind

well you call yourself a realist 
but its really just the fear that's holding you 
so you separate and alienate 
anyone who tries to pull you through 
and could you tell me something 
when you lie alone at night 
do you ever wonder 
if i feel the same inside

you silly fool 
you must be blind 
oh you silly fool 
you must be blind

everyone can look for reasons 
while filling up the seasons 
you've got so much to give 
sometimes its hard to let you go

and you're growing older 
and i think you might have learned 
everything you give in life 
when you know it will return

you silly fool 
you must be blind 
oh you silly fool 
you must be blind 
oh you silly fool 
you silly fool 
you silly fool

oh oh oh oh
