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.
Leave it up to me to mix business with pleasure
But were not getting any younger
And it leads me to wonder shouldnt I be getting
Something out of this
Something I should have missed when Im without her.
What the hell are you waiting for?
Its all for you or its all for nothing
All for hoping that youd give it a chance, give it a chance, give me.
What the hell am I waiting for?
To be out of time or be out of context
Pleasantly complex
And were giving up on getting guilt out of our way.
Theres something in the air tonight
And I cant quite put my finger on it
But I tell you that shes got it
And it works for me
And im falling for
Shes another break in the bend
I could be nothing more than a trend
Im wandering off
Im wondering if shes got it out for another one
Shes got it out for another one better than me.
An eye for an I am ready to give it up give him up and on and on
And im floored to see that you are standing here
Like everything was oh so clear and bright you dont think about it
Why do you kick me when im down
Im running out of things to say
Things dont come as easy, and things dont come as easy as you do
And im running out of things to say.
RISE OR DIE TRYING!
But were not getting any younger
And it leads me to wonder shouldnt I be getting
Something out of this
Something I should have missed when Im without her.
What the hell are you waiting for?
Its all for you or its all for nothing
All for hoping that youd give it a chance, give it a chance, give me.
What the hell am I waiting for?
To be out of time or be out of context
Pleasantly complex
And were giving up on getting guilt out of our way.
Theres something in the air tonight
And I cant quite put my finger on it
But I tell you that shes got it
And it works for me
And im falling for
Shes another break in the bend
I could be nothing more than a trend
Im wandering off
Im wondering if shes got it out for another one
Shes got it out for another one better than me.
An eye for an I am ready to give it up give him up and on and on
And im floored to see that you are standing here
Like everything was oh so clear and bright you dont think about it
Why do you kick me when im down
Im running out of things to say
Things dont come as easy, and things dont come as easy as you do
And im running out of things to say.
RISE OR DIE TRYING!

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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/
