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 can fool yourself
I promise it will help
Now every single day
I just wanna hear you saying
Laughing through the day
Thinking you are never boring
Speeding through the night
Maybe you not count the morning
There's nothing you can do
To keep it out
There's nothing you can do
Just scream and shout
Living for today
But you just can't find tomorrow
Talking about the joy
But it never stops the sorrow
There's nothing you can do
To keep it out
There's nothing you can do
Just scream and shout, saying
I'm so lucky, lucky
I'm so lucky, lucky
I'm so lovely, lovely
I'm so lovely, lovely
You can fool yourself
I promise it will help
Now every single day
I just wanna hear you saying
I'm so lucky, lucky
I'm so lucky, lucky
I'm so lovely, lovely
I'm so lovely, lovely
You can fool yourself
I promise it will help
Now every single day
I just wanna hear you saying
Even though you said
It would never end it's over
You were smiling on my arm
Now you're crying on my shoulder
There's nothing you can do
To keep it out
There's nothing you can do
Just scream and shout, saying:
I'm so lucky, lucky

Good together
Young and clever
You can never be forever
But keep it up
Don't ever stop
Through night and day
The words to say are
I'm so lucky, lucky
I'm so lucky, lucky
I'm so lovely, lovely

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”

@[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.

Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
