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.
Well the fall hit me hard
I was on my back staring at stars
But it was daylight outside
So I stared up at those leaves
And I felt them underneath
And I watched as summer turned quiet
And somehow it made sense
How it all comes to and end only to begin again
Summer's pile of regrets
Was only spring's lost bets
And if it wasn't fall outside it was in
So just button up your coat
Here it comes, here we go
Just remember tomorrow never knows
And the colors are going to be
Ones like you've never seen
So say goodbye to green
Because here it comes in incredible yellows
Inevitable orange
And you can just get on down
To the feel good hit of the fall
Seasons come and go
And the next thing you know
You're right back where you started
But a whole lot smarter
All that matters is right now
So breathe in and breate out
All that matters is right now
So come on and get down
To the feel good hit of the fall
Well there's a few things in this world
Sadder than the end of summer
But there's a few things more beautiful than fall
And I never much liked winter
But I guess that's the price you pay
Because there's a few more things beautiful than spring
Changes this fall are going to last forever
I was on my back staring at stars
But it was daylight outside
So I stared up at those leaves
And I felt them underneath
And I watched as summer turned quiet
And somehow it made sense
How it all comes to and end only to begin again
Summer's pile of regrets
Was only spring's lost bets
And if it wasn't fall outside it was in
So just button up your coat
Here it comes, here we go
Just remember tomorrow never knows
And the colors are going to be
Ones like you've never seen
So say goodbye to green
Because here it comes in incredible yellows
Inevitable orange
And you can just get on down
To the feel good hit of the fall
Seasons come and go
And the next thing you know
You're right back where you started
But a whole lot smarter
All that matters is right now
So breathe in and breate out
All that matters is right now
So come on and get down
To the feel good hit of the fall
Well there's a few things in this world
Sadder than the end of summer
But there's a few things more beautiful than fall
And I never much liked winter
But I guess that's the price you pay
Because there's a few more things beautiful than spring
Changes this fall are going to last forever

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
this makes me feel happy that it is fall right now. i love !!! even though their name is hard to google.
