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 wanna know
What you really think of me
I wanna feel all the
Pain the sets you free
These waves of doubt
Are drowning me
Gone are the days
When this was easy
Buried in the past
So many moments I want back
Tomorrow doesn't
Hold onto yesterday
If I fall back into you
Don't fight it
Don't fight it
Show me what we've got to lose
Don't hide it
Don't hide it
Memories stuck in my head
All the things I should have said
If I fall back into you
Don't fight it
Don't fight it
I wanna know
After all these lessons learned
If there's a road
From these the bridges the we burned
I need to know
If you still want me
Want to me show how much
I need you
Buried in the past
So many moments I want back
Tomorrow doesn't
Hold onto yesterday
If I fall back into you
Don't fight it
Don't fight it
Show me what we've got to lose
Don't hide it
Don't hide it
Memories stuck in my head
All the things I should have said
If I fall back into you
Don't fight it
Don't fight it
Gone are all of the days this was easy
Tomorrow can't hold onto yesterday
If you come right back to me
I won't fight it
I won't fight it
Show me what you need from me
Don't hide it
Don't hide it
If I fall back into you
Don't fight it
Don't fight it
Show me what we've got to lose
Don't hide it
Don't hide it
Memories stuck in my head
All the things I should have said
If I fall back into you
Don't fight it
Don't fight it
What you really think of me
I wanna feel all the
Pain the sets you free
These waves of doubt
Are drowning me
Gone are the days
When this was easy
Buried in the past
So many moments I want back
Tomorrow doesn't
Hold onto yesterday
If I fall back into you
Don't fight it
Don't fight it
Show me what we've got to lose
Don't hide it
Don't hide it
Memories stuck in my head
All the things I should have said
If I fall back into you
Don't fight it
Don't fight it
I wanna know
After all these lessons learned
If there's a road
From these the bridges the we burned
I need to know
If you still want me
Want to me show how much
I need you
Buried in the past
So many moments I want back
Tomorrow doesn't
Hold onto yesterday
If I fall back into you
Don't fight it
Don't fight it
Show me what we've got to lose
Don't hide it
Don't hide it
Memories stuck in my head
All the things I should have said
If I fall back into you
Don't fight it
Don't fight it
Gone are all of the days this was easy
Tomorrow can't hold onto yesterday
If you come right back to me
I won't fight it
I won't fight it
Show me what you need from me
Don't hide it
Don't hide it
If I fall back into you
Don't fight it
Don't fight it
Show me what we've got to lose
Don't hide it
Don't hide it
Memories stuck in my head
All the things I should have said
If I fall back into you
Don't fight it
Don't fight it

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.

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.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

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.
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/

I think the word is "buried" not "married". It sounds like it, and fits better. Could be wrong though. Why are you even posting lyrics if you can't get the full song?! But this is obviously about a someone who is can't get over someone, on how they can't move on because they are stuck in the past, and they are pleading that person to take them back and tell them how they could fix what went wrong. And "Not fight it". REALLY self explanatory.
I think this song is about how he likes someone who he used to have a relationship with.
Well, because I'm filled with the Holy Spirit, I'de say He's crying out to God. His subconscience could have been flooded with doubt, thus turning him from God and His perfect peace and love in Christ. Whether we believe or not, we wrestle with Him and the demons do all they can to keep us from the true faith for that is what sets us free.
The song is about a relationship that did not quite take off because the guy was afraid to express himself to the girl so he held back. The girl might have gotten tired of waiting and so she took off but now the guy wants her back. I know this because the same thing is happening to me at the moment and every line is very relevant.
