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.
For a long time
Haha
You look so good
Got my eyes on you
I've been watching you
For so very long
Trying to get my nerve built up
To be so strong
I really want to meet you
But I'm kind of scared
'Cause you're the kind of lady
With so much class
I get my thoughts together
For the very next day
But when I see you, lady
I forget what to say
Your eyes and hair
Such a beautiful tone
The way you dress and walk
It really turns me on, yeah
Ooh, you really turn me on
Come on, come on, come on
Come and talk to me
I really wanna meet you
Can I talk to you? (Mm)
I really wanna know you (I wanna know you)
Come and talk to me (oh)
I really wanna meet you
Can I talk to you? (Ooh yeah)
I really wanna know you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
There you are again
With the same smile each day
I wanna know what it is
That makes me feel this way
I wish I could grab you
Tell you what it means to me
To see you walking my way
It really makes my day
Before I go to sleep and dream about you
I'm a single man, I hope that you are single too
Tomorrow, I'll say something to set my mind free
'Cause curiousity is buggin' the hell outta me, yeah, baby
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, baby
Come and talk to me (my baby)
I really wanna meet you
Can I talk to you? (Girl)
I really wanna know you (and you know, you know, you know)
Come and talk to me (know, know, know, baby)

Let me play your game, oh (let me play your game, yeah)

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
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/

Amazing

Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
