| Vampire Weekend – Campus Lyrics | 16 years ago |

I actually think this song is about a one night stand and the following morning wanting to leave before they get up cos of the awkwardness. Draging his feet along the floor possibly in regret of what he's done. Then he sees her walking 'cross the campus, the "cruel professor studying romances", i think, is the girl overthinking the situation and wondering if there was more to it than a one night stand etc... The chrorus isnt "how am i supposed to pretend i never want to see you again [as he likes her]" its "How am i supposed to pretend [theres more to it than just a one night stand when really], I never want to see you again" The comma makes it a whole different thing he's saying/thinking. Ending with shes on the stone and grass (i.e. campus) maybe waiting to bump into him again whereas he's "sleeping on the balcony after class" simply catching up from a lack of sleep last night - another indication of the one night stand - not thinking about her anymore. |
