He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
Sometimes I feel like the world is looking over my shoulder
I don't know why but I feel my patience's getting shorter
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna feel
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna sound crazy
I don't wanna sound insane
But I can't take the pressure
Have you ever felt the same?
Like you just need to run away
I don't wanna sound insane
But I can't take the pressure
Have you ever felt the same?
Like you just need to run away
Away
Away
The tension builds but I feel the walls are getting thicker
And then I still make believe that I am feeling better
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna feel
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna sound crazy
I don't wanna sound insane
But I can't take the pressure
Have you ever felt the same?
Like you just need to run away
I don't wanna sound insane
But I can't take the pressure
Have you ever felt the same?
Like you just need to run away

I don't wanna sound insane

Have you ever felt the same?
Like you just need to run away
I don't wanna sound insane
But I can't take the pressure
Have you ever felt the same?
Like you just need to run away
I don't wanna sound insane

Have you ever felt the same?

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.
Fortnight
Taylor Swift

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.

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
This song is about taking too much mischief in and to be driven crazy by it and turning really paranoid (exactly what I am facing). Reminds me a lot of the song "By Myself" from Linkin Park. Kix ass too
