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.
Somedays aren't yours at all,
They come and go as if they're someone else's days,
They go and leave you behind someone else's face,
And it's harsher than yours,
And colder than yours.
They come in all quiet,
Sweep up,
And then they leave.
And you don't hear a single floorboard creak.
They're so much stronger than the friends you try to keep by your side.
Downtown, downtown,
I'm not here,
Not anymore.
I've gone away,
Don't call me,
Don't write.
I'm in love with your daughter,
I want to have her baby.
I'm in love with your daughter,
So can I please
Downtown, downtown,
I'm not here,
Not anymore.
They come and go as if they're someone else's days,
They go and leave you behind someone else's face,
And it's harsher than yours,
And colder than yours.
They come in all quiet,
Sweep up,
And then they leave.
And you don't hear a single floorboard creak.
They're so much stronger than the friends you try to keep by your side.
Downtown, downtown,
I'm not here,
Not anymore.
I've gone away,
Don't call me,
Don't write.
I'm in love with your daughter,
I want to have her baby.
I'm in love with your daughter,
So can I please
Downtown, downtown,
I'm not here,
Not anymore.

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”
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/
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.
I have a feeling that this song is about a person who is in some kind of rehab or clinic for depression/addiction.
Maybe this person has imaginary friends?: "They're so much stronger than the friends you try to keep, by your side."
To me, the song is about being so unhappy you cannot focus on anything at all: "somedays aren't yours at all" , the only thing you think about is somebody who you love but cannot communicate with or do not want to communicate with in case you hurt them by the way you're feeling: "I'm not here, not anymore I've gone away".
The person in the song is obviously in love with a girl but cannot be with them- "I'm in love with your daughter, I wanna have her babies..I'm in love with your daughter..so can I, please?"
The part where Regina sings: "They come in all quiet, sweep up, and then they leave" makes me think of the person in a clinic/rehab sitting on a bed, only noticing the staff/cleaners coming into their room. They feel isolated and alone.
The lyrics "I've gone away, don't call me, don't write....I'm not here, not anymore", is the persons plea to their lover that they don't want to communicate with them because they're afraid their unhappiness will bring them down with themselves.
Please, tell me what you's all think :)
I don't think it's imaginary friends. look for my comment at the bottom. that says what i think.
