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.
Can you feel it baby-y, can you
feel it in your mo-oves
Can you feel the magi-ic weaving soft and tender
grooves
Do you sence vibratio-io-ions going through your-our
mi-i-i-i-ind
And deep in your heart the beat is of a different kind
Love is a fire that burns you up and turns you o-on
Love is
desire for somethin' that you feel is wro-ong
Even so-o-oh, even
so-o-oh
Do you hear me baby-y, I am reachin' for your sou-oul
Do
you hear me dreami-in', do you hear voices call
This is one
sensatio-io-ion that you can't deny
So just let it be and if you want to
you can cry
Ever so-o-oh, even so-o-woh-woh
Love is a fire
that burns you up and turns you o-on
Love is desire for somethin' that
you feel is wro-ong
Love is so good it's worth hangin' onto
Love never really stops till it's gone too far-ar
And you turn around
and you see where you are
And you get the funniest feelin' that's it's
more-more
Yeah-yeah, that's it's marvellous baby
More-more, that
it's wonderful
Love is a fire that burns you up and turns you
o-on
Love is desire for something that you feel is wro-ong
Love is
a fire that burns you up and turns you o-on
Love is desire for something
that you feel is wro-ong
Love is a fire that burns you up and turns you
o-on
Love is desire for somethin' that you feel is wro-ong
feel it in your mo-oves
Can you feel the magi-ic weaving soft and tender
grooves
Do you sence vibratio-io-ions going through your-our
mi-i-i-i-ind
And deep in your heart the beat is of a different kind
Love is a fire that burns you up and turns you o-on
Love is
desire for somethin' that you feel is wro-ong
Even so-o-oh, even
so-o-oh
Do you hear me baby-y, I am reachin' for your sou-oul
Do
you hear me dreami-in', do you hear voices call
This is one

So just let it be and if you want to

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
