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.
She's got me cummin', got me rockin' and rollin'
Feels so good man I just can't control it
When I need her she's always right by my side, always tryin' to make me feel alright
She's electric, yeah she's one of a kind
In the bedroom man she always blows my mind
You should see how she moves, and you should see how she grooves
It would probably blow your mind, too
She's good to me, she gives me what I want she gives me what I need
She's so damn sweet, my baby tastes like sugar but she stings like a bee
She gets me high, every single day and every single night
I've got a hundred proof woman and you know that's true
And if you fuck with me, she's gonna fuck with you
If I'm scheming man she's planning the get-a-way
And I don't think that she would have it any other way
You could say that she's my Bonnie and I'm her Clyde
'Cause she's the type of girl that's always down to ride
If you step to her then you should probably know
She'll go toe to toe and she'll go blow for blow
You'll never see me down, you'll never see me low
'Cause my baby's always gettin' me dough
She's good to me, she gives me what I want she gives me what I need
She's so damn sweet, my baby tastes like sugar but she stings like a bee
She gets me high, every single day and every single night
I've got a hundred proof woman and you know that's true
And if you fuck with me, she's gonna fuck with you
Monday night and she's lookin' for action
Tuesday night's all about satisfaction
Wednesday night and she's lookin' for a fight
But Thursday man we're fuckin' all night
Friday night at the bar she's buyin' shots
Saturday at the club she's so damn hot
Sunday man what can I say?
I'm lookin' so forward to Monday
I'm lookin' so forward to Monday
She's good to me, she gives me what I want she gives me what I need
She's so damn sweet, my baby tastes like sugar but she stings like a bee
She gets me high, every single day and every single night
I've got a hundred proof woman and you know that's true
And if you fuck with me, she's gonna fuck with you
Feels so good man I just can't control it
When I need her she's always right by my side, always tryin' to make me feel alright
She's electric, yeah she's one of a kind
In the bedroom man she always blows my mind
You should see how she moves, and you should see how she grooves
It would probably blow your mind, too
She's good to me, she gives me what I want she gives me what I need
She's so damn sweet, my baby tastes like sugar but she stings like a bee
She gets me high, every single day and every single night
I've got a hundred proof woman and you know that's true
And if you fuck with me, she's gonna fuck with you
If I'm scheming man she's planning the get-a-way
And I don't think that she would have it any other way
You could say that she's my Bonnie and I'm her Clyde
'Cause she's the type of girl that's always down to ride
If you step to her then you should probably know
She'll go toe to toe and she'll go blow for blow
You'll never see me down, you'll never see me low
'Cause my baby's always gettin' me dough
She's good to me, she gives me what I want she gives me what I need
She's so damn sweet, my baby tastes like sugar but she stings like a bee
She gets me high, every single day and every single night
I've got a hundred proof woman and you know that's true
And if you fuck with me, she's gonna fuck with you

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
