You're So Vain
That Sunday Feeling Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I take a seat and prepare for another senseless night of haze
I pray,
I’m on the floor looking at footprints that mark all my yesterdays.
Well I’m sorry, I forgot you’re perfect.
No footprints for you, this isn’t worth it.
You’re so vain.
In case you haven’t noticed, we won’t ever be the same.
Turn the page.
I’m breaking my back, bending, so I don’t have to see your face,
again.
Friends stay,
until the very end but I don’t think you’ll even make halfway.
I’d wait,
but I can’t see your money where your mouth is with all at stake.
And It seems like Friday’s the new Sunday.
(That sunday feeling’s on)
But it’s not right, blues are meant for Monday.
(Put your clothes back on, you’re wrong, and,)
You’re so vain.
In case you haven’t noticed, we won’t ever be the same.
Turn the page.
I’m breaking my back, bending, so I don’t have to see your face,
again.
I will put you in your place.
When the sun goes in and it starts to rain,
and the droplets carefully wash away,
everything you’ve worked for, all you’ve gained.
When the winter brings those sleepless nights,
you’ll be wishing you’d have played it right.
Growing old is mandatory.
Growing up is optional.
Friday,
I take a seat and prepare for another senseless night of haze
I pray,
I’m on the floor looking at footprints that mark all my yesterdays.
You’re so vain.
In case you haven’t noticed, we won’t ever be the same.
You won’t change.
I’m breaking my back, bending, so I don’t have to see your face.
You’re so vain.
(You're so vain)
You’re so vain.
(You're so vain)
You’re so vain.
You’re so vain.
It’s always going to happen, it’ll always be the same.
The song "You're So Vain" by That Sunday Feeling is a reflection on a failing relationship due to the arrogance and vanity of one partner. The singer takes a seat on a Friday and prepares for another meaningless night of haze, praying and looking at the footprints of his past. He realizes that the other person in the relationship is selfish and vain, unable to see past their own perfection, and doesn't want to leave any footprints behind. In contrast, the singer recognizes that growing up is optional, but growing old is mandatory, and they are breaking their back to avoid seeing the vain partner's face again.
The song then takes a turn with a bridge that calls out the vain partner for their actions. The lyrics suggest that the partner's actions will eventually catch up with them when everything they worked for is washed away, particularly during the sleepless nights of winter. The final chorus repeats the title lyrics and adds that things will always be the same, emphasizing the inevitability of the vain partner's downfall.
Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the downfall of a relationship due to one partner's selfishness and vanity, with the singer recognizing that they don't want to be a part of that anymore.
