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.

There's a statue of liberty
In your heart
A free soul, a guitar,
A bike, boots and a jack knife
Living without a watch
But with an answering machine
You are looking for
A golden heart that shines in the night
The gold bracelet you gave your ex-girlfriend
Is in the pawn shop
A tattoo on the arm
A tattoo of the statue of liberty
It's fantastic
Statue of liberty
It's rising
Statue of liberty
It's cool
Statue of liberty
It's gorgeous
Statue of liberty
Statue of liberty
Your girl looks good barefoot
She's like the statue of liberty
She's always cool and she sleeps with anybody
She walks and loves as a free spirit
Tonight she'll spend the night somewhere
Of course with another person
It's fantastic
Statue of liberty
It's rising
Statue of liberty
It's cool
Statue of liberty
It's gorgeous
Statue of liberty
Statue of liberty

One two one two
Have a look
Life is a fussy
Metamorphosis
Danger at
Three o'clock
At twelve o'clock
I remember
I gotta say
Everything is possible
If it's good then it's good
And will come to an end
I can't walk
Wearing
Platform shoes
Somehow
How? this way
A rocker come this far
Slow low
Rough whatever
Each one has it's own means
Values are relative
And changes violent
This city
Has come to a dead end
On the verge of a nervous breakdown
With my microphone
I'll scatter rhymes
All around the place
I'll do it here too
An urban minstrel
Groove
Rare records, jeans
And a statue of liberty t-shirt
Dogs barking,
Children crying and
Cars always stolen
Groove
It's fantastic
Statue of liberty
It's rising
Statue of liberty
It's cool
Statue of liberty
It's gorgeous

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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
