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.
Nerd girl, I don't deserve you
I don't get the references you refer to
I love your Lipsmackers and
Your lack of perfume
I hope to get you home by curfew wORD UP!
There's a special kind of girl
That goes to my shows
And I don't mean the groupie hoes
All along the front row
She's more like a wallflower
Like the one that Stryker sniped
I'm elixir when I'm with her
Cause I think I like her type
She might seem shy in person, it's no lie
She's always nervous
But the verdict is - she's worth it
She gets crap, but don't deserve it
She look like Emily Strange
Always ravin' 'bout her faves
Wanna conquer her like Kang
When you kiss like Cassie Lang
There's no way I can
Pronounce Neo Geo Evangelion
I can't refute, cause she's so cute
And so I suck my belly in
X-23 and Hellion, odd couple, to be kind
She's in my heart and in my mind
And now she's in my rhymes
She's wordy and verbose
Prolific and prone to prose
Always sick and has a cold
Stuffed nose she's gotta blow
I've got many cold remedies, many old enemies
I've got a girl that kicks their
Ass like River from Serenity!
Nerd girl, I don't deserve you
I don't get the references you refer to
I love your Lipsmackers and
Your lack of perfume
I hope to get you home by curfew wORD UP!
Her parents are divorced
And there's often daddy issues
Try not to take advantage while I
Hand her all my tissues
She hips me to the bands she
Likes I couldn't be more clueless
Every word comes out her mouth - is
Now on my to do list she's romantic
Known to panic with anxiety attacks
Literary, it's so scary
Reading Brontës back to back
She's playing Ragnarok on
Her mother's Magnavox
She's underneath my skin like
A million nanobots
She's like Annie Potts in 'Busters
Get my freak on like I'm Egon
Say third base right to her face
And she will be like 'BE GONE' if not now
I know I can wait like Lucas and the locusts
And you know this - we'll buy glow sticks
Stay up late, perfect the slow kiss
You can't resist Chris cause
He helps you de-stress
While you play Animal Crossing
On your Nintendo DS
Baby, if we can't be a couple
Give up on getting married
I'll remember we connected
And how it happens so rarely
(I'm serious, girl)
Nerd girl, I don't deserve you
I don't get the references you refer to
I love your Lipsmackers and
Your lack of perfume
I hope to get you home by curfew
Nerd girl, I don't deserve you
I don't get the references you refer to
I love your Lipsmackers and

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

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”
