current location
Lany Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How’d ya fail to mention
That you might be moving
In 4 months to London
Now our days are numbered
Should I try I wonder
Wait how far is London

I need my current location
To be your current location fly back to me
I need my current location
To be your current location fly back to me
Fly back to me

You say it’s just a season
Got the job so now you’re leaving
Kinda hate that reason
Please don’t get me wrong, nah
I want what you want
But how long will you be gone

I need my current location
To be your current location fly back to me
I need my current location
To be your current location fly back to me
Fly back to me

Don’t make me look stupid
For waiting just to lose ya
Love me, can you prove it

I need my current location
To be your current location fly back to me
I need my current location
To be your current location fly back to me
Fly back to me

Fly back to me come back to me then stay with me
Fly back to me come back to me then stay with me
Fly back to me come back to me please stay with me
Fly back to me come back to me then stay with me

Overall Meaning

In this song, LANY talks about a classic dilemma that many people face in long-distance relationships; the insecurity, longing, and uncertainty that come with being apart from someone you love. The lyrics poetically express the pain and frustration that LANY feels upon discovering that his lover may be moving away to London in just four months. He wonders how he could have missed such news and questions whether he should even bother trying to keep the relationship alive.


LANY's desperation to be with his lover is evident in the chorus, where he repeats the phrase "I need my current location to be your current location, fly back to me." He longs for their paths to cross, instead of being separated by miles of distance. He pleads with his lover not to make him look foolish for waiting or lead him on by stringing him along while she's gone. Ultimately, all he wants is for her to come back to him and stay with him.


The song's instrumentation complements the lyrics beautifully, with the vocals backed by a simple electric guitar, rolling percussion, and a mellow rhythm. The song's emotional impact is enhanced by the powerful vocal performance of lead singer Paul Klein, who delivers the lyrics with a raw and vulnerable intensity.
