2013 might be the year of the extremely high quality Official Lyric Video. Personally, I like these more than the old MTV style music videos where people lip sync and act poorly. Having the lyrics right in your face really adds to the song, and this video is directed and shot beautifully.
Tegan and Sara's "I Was A Fool" captures a feeling of lost love as our protagonist passes through city streets and rides the rails. The music is definitely in an 80s pop vibe with some nice call and response and as my friend Donovan likes to say, "sad dance music for indie rock hipsters".

Do you remember I searched you out
How I climbed your city's walls?
Do you remember me as devout
How I prayed for your calls?I stood still is what I did
Love like ours is never fixedI stuck around
I did behave
I saved you every time
I was a fool for love
I was a fool for love
I was a fool [x2]Then you blamed me and blocked me out
How long did you think I'd last?
Then you disappeared for weeks to pout
How many times could I pack?But stand still is all I did
Love like ours is never fixedStill I stuck around
I did behave
I saved you every time
I was a fool for love
I was a fool for love
I was a fool [x2]If you're worried that I might've changed
Left behind all of my foolish ways
You best be looking for somebody else
Without a foolish heart, a foolish heartBut stand still is all we did
Love like ours is never fixedI stuck around
I did behave
I saved you every time
I was a fool for love
I was a fool for love
I was a fool [x5]
