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.
Summer is almost here
When Mother Nature makes us strip right down
To our underwear
Summer is almost here
Where Mother Nature tries to make us
But we wouldn't dare (no I wouldn't dare)
And I don't know what to do about your father
And I heard this heat won't keep him 'round much longer
But it's too hot to care, oh yeah
In every old man's eyes I see you
I wrote The White & Line to somehow make sense of you
Oh, come on!
Summer is almost here
Where everybody's planning something
Every single on of them is humming, "Love Is In The Air"
It's in the air
Oh, the summer is almost here
When every sister, sonny, Mr. Moneymaker are trying to take off
Quickly
And I tried to catch or call you
I'm not leaving the house for the next few months, oh no
Now I could live with radiation
But the fashion of the season is to
Expose one's soul through their clothes
"(Close) your eyes and I will come to you"
I've tried that twice, but I never got through to you!
Well the summer is almost here
Muggy mornings and sweaty shirt stains
Sand, lotion, and the smelly ocean
The summer is almost here
Blonde tips and a bulging mid-drift
Grown men show off fatty bosoms
The summer is almost here
Short pants are a sign of weakness
Sunglasses hide a mental vacuum
The summer is almost here
Hot seats and a burning dashboard
We're living Miller's AC Nightmare!
When Mother Nature makes us strip right down
To our underwear
Summer is almost here
Where Mother Nature tries to make us
But we wouldn't dare (no I wouldn't dare)
And I don't know what to do about your father
And I heard this heat won't keep him 'round much longer
But it's too hot to care, oh yeah
In every old man's eyes I see you
I wrote The White & Line to somehow make sense of you
Oh, come on!
Summer is almost here
Where everybody's planning something
Every single on of them is humming, "Love Is In The Air"

Quickly
And I tried to catch or call you
I'm not leaving the house for the next few months, oh no

But the fashion of the season is to

Sunglasses hide a mental vacuum
The summer is almost here
Hot seats and a burning dashboard
We're living Miller's AC Nightmare!

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”
