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.
The real me is, a southern girl with her Levis on and an open heart
Wish I could say the save the world, like I was super girl
Real me is, to laugh all night lying in the grass just talking about love
But lately, I've been jaded, life got so complicated
I start thinking about it
I almost forgot what it was like
To know what it feels like
But with you
I can let my hair down
I can say anything crazy
I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground
With nothing but a T-shirt on
I never felt so beautiful
Baby, as I do now
Now that I'm with you, with you, with you, with you
Oh-oh-oh
Now that I'm with you
You speak and it's like a song
And just like that, all my walls come down
It's like a private joke, just meant for us to know
I relate to you naturally
Everybody else just fades away
Sometimes it's hard to breathe
Just knowing you found me
'Cause I start thinking about it
I almost forgot what it was like
To know what love feels like
'Cause with you
I can let my hair down
I can say anything crazy
I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground
With nothing but a T-shirt on
I never felt so beautiful
Baby, as I do now
Now that I'm with you, with you, with you, with you
Oh-oh-oh
Come and take me
Love you, save me
Like nobody else
Now I can be myself
With you
I can let my hair down
I can say anything crazy
I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground
With nothing but a T-shirt on
I never felt so beautiful
Baby, as I do now (baby, as I do now)
Now that I'm with you (now that I'm with you)
I can let my hair down
I can say anything crazy (crazy)
I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground
With nothing but a T-shirt on
I never felt so beautiful
Baby, as I do now
Now that I'm with you
Wish I could say the save the world, like I was super girl
Real me is, to laugh all night lying in the grass just talking about love
But lately, I've been jaded, life got so complicated
I start thinking about it
I almost forgot what it was like
To know what it feels like
But with you
I can let my hair down
I can say anything crazy
I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground
With nothing but a T-shirt on
I never felt so beautiful
Baby, as I do now
Now that I'm with you, with you, with you, with you
Oh-oh-oh
Now that I'm with you
You speak and it's like a song
And just like that, all my walls come down
It's like a private joke, just meant for us to know
I relate to you naturally
Everybody else just fades away
Sometimes it's hard to breathe
Just knowing you found me
'Cause I start thinking about it
I almost forgot what it was like

'Cause with you
I can let my hair down
I can say anything crazy
I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground
With nothing but a T-shirt on

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Kaneda, I can't take your post seriously. You call Jessica a "dump b*tch", dumb is spelt with a b. You put a e on the end of who!!! It's three letters long! Anyway, this song is actually really nice. It's sweet, sure it's bubblegum pop but hey! Also: I don't care about image. I actually listen to the music, if I don't like the person, so what! I like the music.
I agree. If I'm gonna listen to a song who give a crap about who sings it. As long as the osng is good. And I cried to this song, no I'm not stupid and all emotional whatever, but thats how I felt about my ex-boyfriend. Yet its a long story so it doesn't matter to whoever is reading this. Anyways I agree its sorta how you feel with your mom. [[That is taking out the romantic part]] You feel comfortable and you can go to your parents looking like anything. Just wished I had my boyfriend back...
i think its about that happy go lucky feeling you get when you are with "the one". i haven't met "the one" but i think she's saying its her feeling that no matter what she wears or how she acts or what she says he loves her.
This song.. I like it a lot because its the way you feel when you are with that one person. But I hate the way her voice sounds on the first verse. Very nasly- yet fake.
I agree with Samboras1Chick this is definately a song about how you feel when you are with someone you love but I also think about my guy best friend coz we are so close!!
She wrote this song for her husband nick so yes it is about the one person that you love.
i can relate this song to a lot of people i feel i can be myself with. take out the romantic part and it's how i feel with my mom, my grandma, my best friends, etc. put in the romantic part and it's how i feel around my boyfriend when we're just talking and he makes me feel like the most interesting, important girl in the world.
i hate jessica...I feel ashamed about a country whit these kind of idols... how can a dump btch be a succes just because of a tv show!! I hate women whoe see her as an idol....she`s jus t sht!! I definitely prefer britney...at least she
s an asumed whore...not like this bitch who makes us think shes innocent, but she`s not...and her sister is just a fraudI would respect this son a lot more if I hadn't seen These Boots Are Made For Walking. You forgot the t-shirt, SLUT!!
I meant 'song.'
