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.
Another day is going by
I'm thinking about you all the time
But you're out there and I'm here waitin'
And I wrote this letter in my head
'Cause so many things were left unsaid
But now you're gone and I can't think straight
This could be the one last chance
To make you understand
Yeah
I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
'Cause I know I won't forget you
Together we broke all the rules
Dreaming of dropping out of school
And leave this place to never come back
So now maybe after all these years
If you miss me have no fear
I'll be here
I'll be waiting
This could be the one last chance
To make you understand
And I just can't let you leave me once again
Yeah
I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
'Cause somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
'Cause I know I won't forget you
I close my eyes and all I see is you
I close my eyes
I try to sleep I can't forget you
Nanana nanana
And I'd do anything for you
Nanana nanana na
I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
'Cause somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
To fall asleep with you, with you, yeah
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
There's nothing I won't do
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
'Cause I know I won't forget you
I'm thinking about you all the time
But you're out there and I'm here waitin'
And I wrote this letter in my head
'Cause so many things were left unsaid
But now you're gone and I can't think straight
This could be the one last chance
To make you understand
Yeah
I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Somehow I can't put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
'Cause I know I won't forget you
Together we broke all the rules
Dreaming of dropping out of school
And leave this place to never come back
So now maybe after all these years
If you miss me have no fear
I'll be here
I'll be waiting
This could be the one last chance
To make you understand
And I just can't let you leave me once again
Yeah
I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
'Cause somehow I can't put you in the past

To fall asleep with you

There's nothing I won't do
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
'Cause I know I won't forget you

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.

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

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Damn love sucks! Why can't we just fine someone in life who is willing to love us back the same way? These lyrics mean so much to me, it's all so true... love hurts... but I still belive the pain we all endure is well worth it if we manage to find someone who feels the same as you do and happiness is complete.

its been a long long time, since i lost myself put my pride down on the table, put my fear on the shelf so i bought myself a thrown to reside and let myself go but ive travelled much too far, where ive gone i'll never know
(chorus) what a long, long time long, long time It's been a little old while since i felt so fine wanderin' in the rain losing my mind what a long, long time x2
my days i've spent relaxing turned to nights relaxin' too a thousand eyes upon me, but my sights are missing you so this time i swear i will loosen my grip on past times, and bad lines, and meaningless trips.
chorus
so, over and over mile signs pass by my side the more you try to find yourself the more you tend to hide behind these forest trees and greens that blind your eyes to lounge upon that thrown i bought, confer there with the wise
chorus
so here we appear, the rest lost themselves in a pit of fear for who? what can i do? but let them all come through the wall and though some oppose many of these things i know i'll stay here alone, and lose myself on the riverways of days i'm coming home.
