Sympathy

Sympathy - Vampire Weekend

Lyrics by：Ezra Koenig/Ariel Rechtshaid

Composed by：Ezra Koenig/Ariel Rechtshaid

I think I take myself too serious

It's not that serious

Alone in someone's bedroom she firmly took my hand

The isolation ended I began to understand

In the ping-pong match of constant desire

I was never gonna get ahead

'Cause I was looking in the mirror

Now we've got that sympathy

What I'm to you you are to me

Let's go

Judeo-Christianity I'd never heard the words

Enemies for centuries until there was a third

In the ping-pong match of constant desire

I was never gonna get ahead

'Cause I was looking in the mirror

Now we've got that sympathy

What I'm to you you are to me

Let's go

Diego Garcia surrounded by the waves

Lonely in the ocean but in every other way

It was full of love

In the warmest fellow-feeling

Now we've got that sympathy

What I'm to you you are to me

Let's go

I didn't have your sympathy but I knew where to start

Explaining to you patiently that the one who broke my heart

Would have broken yours

And thrown the pieces in the river

Now we've got that sympathy

What I'm to you you are to me

Let's go

Sympa

Sympa

Let's go

Sympa

Let's go

Sympa

Let's go

Sympa

Desperate for an enemy but too afraid to kill

Use the pain of someone else and triumph for their will

And spill the blood

Of the arrogant mosquitoes

Now we've got that sympathy

What I'm to you you are to me

Let's go
