Sympathy - Vampire Weekend

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

And 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

Let’s go

Let’s go

Let’s go

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
