Sufjan attended Hope College in Holland, so it's a safe bet to assume that this song relates to college experiences.
Structurally, it's pretty neat; all the verses have seven syllables, and he makes good use of slant rhymes. The sort of thing one might write for (or study in) a college poetry class, in fact.
