Tampa
Lany Lyrics

"Stuck in Florida one more night, 5 a.m., catch a Tampa flight, I'm just tryna get back home to a girl who's lied but she don't know I know" - The first verse sets the scene for the song, with the singer feeling trapped in Florida and desperate to return home to confront his partner (referred to as "a girl who's lied") about her infidelities, which he knows about but has kept to himself. The repeated mention of Tampa and catching a flight is a metaphor for the singer's desire to escape and move on.

"I've held it in 'cause I've been on the road, Paul, welcome home" - The line "Paul, welcome home" suggests that the singer is addressing himself, as if returning home to his own sense of self. The shift in perspective from referring to himself in the third person to addressing himself directly highlights the internal struggle he's facing, between staying on the road and running from his problems or returning home and facing them.

"A text, a call, another fight, I'm always first to apologize, I never know which you I'll get" - The second verse continues the theme of the singer's fraught relationship, with reference to repeated arguments and uncertainty about his partner's mood. The lines "I'm always first to apologize, I never know which you I'll get" suggest that the singer is trying to keep the peace, but is exhausted by the emotional rollercoaster of the relationship.

"But if I know myself, I know that I won't quit, Paul, you should quit" - The final lines of the song bring it full circle, with the singer once again addressing himself and acknowledging his own resilience. The suggestion that "Paul, you should quit" might be interpreted as a call to action, for the singer to leave the relationship behind and move forward.
