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.
All I can taste is champagne
When it hits the brain like
Spinning around and around
I can't get up without your help
I'm falling down
All I can taste is champagne
Another day down the drain
Sleeping around and around
I can't wake up without your help
It's over now
You want it
You need it
You can't explain
You fight it
You feed it
I can't live without you
I'm moving on without you
Love is like Novocaine
And it leaves a little stain
The beauty in all this pain is
I can't get away from you
So bowl me down and don't make a sound
You want it
You need it
You can't explain
You fight it
You feed it
I can't live without you
I'm moving on without you
All I can taste is champagne
Dancing away down my veins
Spinning around and around
I can't get up without your help
I'm on the ground
Somebody help me
I'm losing everything when I'm without you
Doing it without you
All I can taste is champagne
Another day down the drain
All I can taste is champagne x 2
When it hits the brain like
Spinning around and around
I can't get up without your help
I'm falling down
All I can taste is champagne
Another day down the drain
Sleeping around and around
I can't wake up without your help
It's over now
You want it
You need it
You can't explain
You fight it
You feed it
I can't live without you
I'm moving on without you
Love is like Novocaine
And it leaves a little stain
The beauty in all this pain is
I can't get away from you
So bowl me down and don't make a sound
You want it
You need it
You can't explain
You fight it
You feed it
I can't live without you
I'm moving on without you
All I can taste is champagne
Dancing away down my veins
Spinning around and around
I can't get up without your help
I'm on the ground
Somebody help me
I'm losing everything when I'm without you
Doing it without you
All I can taste is champagne
Another day down the drain
All I can taste is champagne x 2

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'

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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
I think this song is about depending on someone so much that you can't live without them. When you are with this person, you are not your single self anymore, you are not complete. You need this person to be complete otherwise you are nothing- you can't function, you can't exist.
Couldnt say it better myself..antisocialkatie..i agree wit ya we can stop the comments right now...you have said it soo clear
yup :) it's just about growing so close to someone it feels almost as though they've become a part of you. They're an addiction, you can't live a day without them and when they're gone you feel dead and anmost incomplete.
alcohol and drug addiction.
Tim has said in several interviews that the song was actually written about Ben. So I assume it has to do with Ben's battle with his alcohol addiction and eventually his leaving the band.
I agree with TofuKillah repeating "spinning round and around" like the effects of alcohol on your visual perception. "I can’t get up without your help I’m falling down" so drunk Ihe can't stand on his own. "You can beat it, You can and I can’t live without you I’m moving on without you" eventual leaving the band. Great song.
"Sleeping around and round"
i think this song means this person really loves someone but he keeps messing around and sleeping with other girls but he knows that he really wants to be with this one girl and he always wants to be there to wake him up but he keeps messing things up with her by sleeping with other people
im addicted to this song hah just like hes addicted
"and i can live without you, i'm moving on without you"
is my faaaaavorite part. sugarcult is pretty much awesome.
sorry i can't
I used to live in a house in North Hollywood, CA. It had a back room void of sunlight all hours of the day. It was a great place to write songs. If it were hot outside, the room would be cool. If it was cold out, the room had a heater vent in it so it would be the first to get warm. (Side note: Marko lived in this room on and off for about six months). Right around this time we were dealing with the internal politics of our band and confronting all our own issues, while starting to work on our new record. I was feeling trapped by the last year of my life and disappointed by the situation and wanted to write a song about my frustrations. "Champagne" is a song that switches between first/ third person perspectives of a relationship between someone with an addiction (It's meaning is pretty obvious and literal). I called Marko and sang it to him over the phone and later wrote the chorus in the shower in the middle of a brainstorm. Musically it is really satisfying. It reminds me of The Cars on steroids. It was the last song to be finished in the studio. My friend Mark Trombino mixed "Champagne" (the day Marko got married) and I think Mark added a harder element to the song that we didn't think existed.

This song is about Ben =) If anyone wants to keep up with Ben, he's currently doing the whole 'solo project' thing under the name Ben Forrest Davis. You can find his songs at:
