Vampire Weekend - Campus Lyrics






I wake up
My shoulders cold
I've got to leave here
Before I go
I pull my shirt on
Walk out the door
Drag my feet along the floor
I pull my shirt on
Walk out the door
Drag my feet along the floor

Then I see you
You're walking cross the campus
Cruel professor
Studying romances
How am I supposed to pretend
I never want to see you again?
How am I supposed to pretend
I never want to see you again?

Walk to class
In front of ya
Spilled kefir
On your keffiyah
You look inside
And turn to the door
Drag your feet along the floor

Then I see you
You're walking cross the campus
Cruel professor
Studying romances
How am I supposed to pretend
I never want to see you again?
How am I supposed to pretend
I never want to see you again?

In the afternoon you're out on the stone and grass
And I'm sleeping on the balcony after class

In the afternoon you're out on the stone and grass
And I'm sleeping on the balcony after class

In the afternoon you're out on the stone and grass
And I'm sleeping on the balcony after class

In the afternoon you're out on the stone and grass
And I'm sleeping on the balcony after class

    lyrics <3

    I wake up, my shoulders cold
    I've got to leave here, before I go
    I pull my shirt on, walk out the door
    Drag my feet along the floor
    I pull my shirt on, walk out the door
    Drag my feet along the floor

    Then I see you, you're walking 'cross the campus
    Cruel professor, studying romances
    How am I supposed to pretend
    I never want to see you again?
    How am I supposed to pretend
    I never want to see you again?

    Walk to class in front of ya
    Spilled kefir on your keffiyah
    You look inside and turn to the door
    Drag your feet along the floor

    Then I see you, you're walking 'cross the campus
    Cruel professor, studying romances
    How am I supposed to pretend
    I never want to see you again?
    How am I supposed to pretend
    I never want to see you again?

    In the afternoon, you're out on the stone and grass
    And I'm sleeping on the balcony after class
    In the afternoon, you're out on the stone and grass
    And I'm sleeping on the balcony after class

    In the afternoon, you're out on the stone and grass
    And I'm sleeping on the balcony after class
    In the afternoon, you're out on the stone and grass
    And I'm sleeping on the balcony after class

  9. W.... P....

    The lyrics match the instrumental track so well

  10. S.... I....

    S.... I....

    I thought it was about having to constantly bump into your ex given you both go to the same university

  11. A.... G....

  12. E.... K....

    Verse 1]
    I wake up
    My shoulders cold
    I've got to leave here
    Before I go
    I pull my shirt on
    Walk out the door
    Drag my feet along the floor
    I pull my shirt on
    Walk out the door
    Drag my feet along the floor

    [Chorus]
    Then I see you
    You're walking cross the campus
    Cruel professor
    Studying romances
    How am I supposed to pretend
    I never want to see you again?
    How am I supposed to pretend
    I never want to see you again?

    [Verse 2]
    Walk to class
    In front of ya
    Spilled kefir
    On your keffiyah
    You look inside
    And turn to the door
    Drag your feet along the floor


    [Chorus]
    Then I see you
    You're walking cross the campus
    Cruel professor
    Studying romances
    How am I supposed to pretend
    I never want to see you again?
    How am I supposed to pretend
    I never want to see you again?

    [Bridge]
    In the afternoon, you're out on the stone and grass
    And I'm sleeping on the balcony after class
    In the afternoon, you're out on the stone and grass
    And I'm sleeping on the balcony after class

    [Guitar Solo]

    [Outro]
    In the afternoon, you're out on the stone and grass

  26. D.... P....

    I thought this was a school-shooter song.
    "Then I see you, you're walking through the campus in a bullet proof vest"
    I then searched up the lyrics--even in spite of that, I consistently hear my interpretation instead.

    D.... P....

    Danny P. Same, I was like well this took a dark turn before I looked the shit up.

    D.... P....

    So it isn't a song about school shootings?

    D.... P....

    I heard bullet proof vest too.

    My buddy and I got a slightly different copy of this CD (this blue cd-r) the summer of 2007, a few months before it officially released, and it was the soundtrack to our summer, and heavily rotated in our little college parties (which made us feel like the coolest kids ever).
