He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
They say
They don't trust
You, me, we, us
So we'll fall
If we must
'Cause it's you, me
And it's all about
It's all about
It's all about us, all about us
It's all about, all about us
All about us
And that's the thing that they can't touch
'Cause you know (ah-ah)
It's all about us, all about us
It's all about, all about us
All about us
We'll run away if we must
'Cause you know (ah-ah)
It's all about us (it's all about us)
It's all about us (it's all about us)
In you I can trust (it's all about us)
It's all about us
If they hurt you
They hurt me, too
So we'll rise up,
Won't stop
And it's all about
It's all about
It's all about us, all about us
It's all about, all about us
All about us
And that's the thing that they can't touch
'Cause you know (ah-ah)
It's all about us, all about us
It's all about, all about us
All about us
We'll run away if we must
'Cause you know (ah-ah)
It's all about us (it's all about us)
It's all about us (it's all about us)
In you I can trust (it's all about us)
It's all about us
They don't know
They can't see
Who we are
Fear is the enemy
Hold on tight,
Hold on to me
'Cause tonight
It's all about us
It's all about, all about us
And that's the thing that they can't touch
'Cause you know (ah-ah)
It's all about us, all about us
It's all about, all about us
All about us
And that's the thing that they can't touch
'Cause you know (ah-ah)
It's all about us, all about us
It's all about, all about us

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.
Fortnight

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.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
