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?
She's gone away
Flying out on a jet plane
Told me, she won't be back again
And Talullah is her name
Well, I got this thing, girl
I wanted to say to you
Talullah, I'm still missing you
Baby, can't you stop that plane
Turn it around, I still love you, baby
Tell the captain I'm to blame
There's ink stained with tears
All these letters from my heavy heart
This is what I always feared
Sparks would fly and we would break apart
Gotta stop that plane
Turn it around
Stop that plane
And just turn it around
Stop that plane
And turn it around for me
There's a hole in my soul
And I'm loosing control
And it's not to late for me to take
This love somewhere else, baby
Can't you see my mind
I need you all the time
And it's not too late for you to turn
That plane around, come see me, baby
She's gone away
Flying out on a jet plane
Told me, she won't be back again
And Talullah is her name
I curl up tight
So alone, I can't sleep at night
Return to sender, that's me tonight
Stop that plane, turn it around
I still love you, babe
Tell the captain I'm to blame
I'm to blame, I'm to blame
Flying out on a jet plane
Told me, she won't be back again
And Talullah is her name
Well, I got this thing, girl
I wanted to say to you
Talullah, I'm still missing you
Baby, can't you stop that plane
Turn it around, I still love you, baby
Tell the captain I'm to blame
There's ink stained with tears
All these letters from my heavy heart
This is what I always feared
Sparks would fly and we would break apart
Gotta stop that plane
Turn it around
Stop that plane
And just turn it around
Stop that plane
And turn it around for me
There's a hole in my soul
And I'm loosing control
And it's not to late for me to take
This love somewhere else, baby
Can't you see my mind
I need you all the time
And it's not too late for you to turn
That plane around, come see me, baby
She's gone away
Flying out on a jet plane
Told me, she won't be back again
And Talullah is her name
I curl up tight
So alone, I can't sleep at night
Return to sender, that's me tonight
Stop that plane, turn it around
I still love you, babe
Tell the captain I'm to blame
I'm to blame, I'm to blame

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
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.

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”
Why no comments? this is one of J's best. Obviously a love song, needs no deciphiring.
slightly incomplete lyrics..."you're my magic star, don't you fly too far from me".... def. my favourite from jamiroquai... blows my mind away...
definitely his best ballad this song can put me to tears in seconds.. its so mellow and gracious.
