The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
You're standing there alone
And so am I
But I want you here
By my side
Your smile at me
Is everything
The staring game
That song of love.
I look you in the eyes
I try to read you thoughts
I ask you to go with me
To a far off place.
Oh.
I look you in the eyes
I try to read you thoughts
I ask you to go with me
To a far off place.
You and me dancing the night away
You can feel my heart beating so hard.
We look eye to eye
And I'm swept away.
On a moonlit walk on the beach
Watching the sunrise for the first time
I'm in a trance
From that one slowdance.
You're standing there alone
And so am I
But I want you there
By my side
Your smile at me
Is everything
The staring game
That song of love.
I look you in the eyes
I try to read your thoughts
I ask you to go with me
To a far off place.
Oh.
I look you in the eyes
I try to read your thoughts
I ask you to go with me
To a far off place.
You and me dancing the night away
You can feel my heart beating so hard.
We look eye to eye
And I'm swept away.
On a moonlit walk on the beach
Watching the sunrise for the first time
I'm in a trance
From that one slowdance.
We don't have to talk,
We don't have to laugh at all
I just want you here with me
We don't have to talk,
We don't have to laugh at all
I just want to be
You and me
You and me dancing the night away
You can feel my hearting beating so hard
We look eye to eye
And im swept away.
On a moonlit walk on the beach
Watching the sunrise for the first time
I'm in a trance
From that one slowdance.
And so am I
But I want you here
By my side
Your smile at me
Is everything
The staring game
That song of love.
I look you in the eyes
I try to read you thoughts
I ask you to go with me
To a far off place.
Oh.
I look you in the eyes
I try to read you thoughts
I ask you to go with me
To a far off place.
You and me dancing the night away
You can feel my heart beating so hard.
We look eye to eye
And I'm swept away.
On a moonlit walk on the beach
Watching the sunrise for the first time
I'm in a trance
From that one slowdance.
You're standing there alone
And so am I
But I want you there
By my side
Your smile at me
Is everything
The staring game
That song of love.
I look you in the eyes
I try to read your thoughts
I ask you to go with me
To a far off place.
Oh.
I look you in the eyes
I try to read your thoughts
I ask you to go with me
To a far off place.
You and me dancing the night away
You can feel my heart beating so hard.
We look eye to eye
And I'm swept away.
On a moonlit walk on the beach
Watching the sunrise for the first time
I'm in a trance
From that one slowdance.
We don't have to talk,
We don't have to laugh at all
I just want you here with me
We don't have to talk,
We don't have to laugh at all
I just want to be
You and me
You and me dancing the night away
You can feel my hearting beating so hard
We look eye to eye
And im swept away.
On a moonlit walk on the beach
Watching the sunrise for the first time
I'm in a trance
From that one slowdance.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
RUFIO...RUFIO...RUUUUUUFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOO
isn't that from the movie "hook"?
thats what I thought too! I was like whoa flashback! : )
haha yeah...that was sucha great movie.
it totally kicked ass, bangarang!!!
They're a pop punk band as opposed to a punk band and they're pretty good,this song is sweet and yeah hook does rule
A very good little song about, what seems to me, your typical middle school dance. It brought back some memories, but nothing too special. I think Jawbreaker writes better love songs.
umm.....two words dumb fuks.....ok dis would be song meanings not lets fukin talk about tha gay ass movie hook! yes rufio is very tite and jawbreaker is a good band but i think dat the ataris write better love songs..... late - e
To all of you who like have conversations here...it's annoying, save it for IM if you want to comment on a band go for it but shut up about hook!!! And this song is awesome, to people like "Greenday Rule" OK, it really pisses me off when people come on here and judge songs like their some kind of reviewer, like only their opinion matters and after its said any debate is settled. Just shut up. I love this song, the lyrics, the music the whole, maybe it is middle school-ish sounding but i still love it. Love Always, QTchik16k
Punk e, your really starting to annoy me, if your gonna talk like that, do it on the lyrics for a rap song, not a friggin punk song. Andrew
