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.
Just put your key up inside that lock for me
Open up it's cold out here
I'll warm you up like the way your shower does
I'll kiss that spot behind your ear
[Pre-Chorus:]
When were laying down everything I'm saying now
Will have you thanking me and begging me to stay the night
Not even asking how
Not understanding why
Without you I just don't sleep right
[Chorus:]
Can I come inside? [x4]
(I will always) come through for you baby.
Come through for you [x4]
I'll never let you down.
Let's take our time
We of age let's drink some wine
I'll kiss your neck you scrath my back
You tell me where you want it at
And you already know I stay real close to your area code
But your areas cold
For it's made for adults
I'm a love you down never let you go
[Pre-Chorus:]
When were laying down everything I'm saying now
Will have you thanking me and begging me to stay the night
Not even asking how
Not understanding why
Without you I just don't sleep right
[Chorus]
You've been thinking bout
Leaving out a key for me
You let me in and I can set you free
Ohhh girl, you my girl, girl
There's just one thing that I gotta know girl
[Chorus]
Open up it's cold out here
I'll warm you up like the way your shower does
I'll kiss that spot behind your ear
[Pre-Chorus:]
When were laying down everything I'm saying now
Will have you thanking me and begging me to stay the night
Not even asking how
Not understanding why
Without you I just don't sleep right
[Chorus:]
Can I come inside? [x4]
(I will always) come through for you baby.
Come through for you [x4]
I'll never let you down.
Let's take our time
We of age let's drink some wine
I'll kiss your neck you scrath my back
You tell me where you want it at
And you already know I stay real close to your area code
But your areas cold
For it's made for adults
I'm a love you down never let you go
[Pre-Chorus:]
When were laying down everything I'm saying now
Will have you thanking me and begging me to stay the night
Not even asking how
Not understanding why
Without you I just don't sleep right
[Chorus]
You've been thinking bout
Leaving out a key for me
You let me in and I can set you free
Ohhh girl, you my girl, girl
There's just one thing that I gotta know girl
[Chorus]

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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/
