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.
I'm riding in your car
A hundred miles an hour
Grin from ear to ear
I'm feeling happy here
I don't wanna park tonight
Pass by those traffic lights
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
It's such a simple plan
A trip in your sedan
Cruising to explore
Really nothing more
Hill climb for morning views
Sun up in your saloon
Oh let's go further down the road
Don't ask me what it is or where to go
Cuz I don't know
I don't know (X2)
Just wonder if you feel desire
I'm riding in your car
A good friend you are
So take me where I please
And see Los Angeles
A bad idea to try
You look so horrified
And I didn't think that you could tell
I'm a psycho speeding road machine from hell
And you know me so well
It's just a simple trip by car
A sleeping passenger you are
But boy what a picture of relief
Skin just as smooth and just as sleek
And it's warm beyond belief
And I wonder if you feel desire
A hundred miles an hour
Grin from ear to ear
I'm feeling happy here
I don't wanna park tonight
Pass by those traffic lights
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
It's such a simple plan
A trip in your sedan
Cruising to explore
Really nothing more
Hill climb for morning views
Sun up in your saloon
Oh let's go further down the road
Don't ask me what it is or where to go
Cuz I don't know
I don't know (X2)
Just wonder if you feel desire
I'm riding in your car
A good friend you are
So take me where I please
And see Los Angeles
A bad idea to try
You look so horrified
And I didn't think that you could tell
I'm a psycho speeding road machine from hell
And you know me so well
It's just a simple trip by car
A sleeping passenger you are
But boy what a picture of relief
Skin just as smooth and just as sleek
And it's warm beyond belief
And I wonder if you feel desire
