Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
You're the center of me
And you're a sinner in me
A saint in the wait, but the weight keeps bringing me down
And I'm the beggar of you
You're taking me when you choose
My words of desire are going to set me on fire tonight
'Cause how you leaned on me
And how you'd sing to me
That's what you mean to me,
And it's perfectly you
And You're the end of my nights,
The starting thoughts at sunrise
You've got me changing but the same things are holding me back
But what I do, it's all for you
It's understood you don't like the change
But don't leave me out, I want you now
I'm sorry how I can't turn you away
But you're worth so much, a priceless touch
And I worry, when you're not perfectly you
And you're a sinner in me
A saint in the wait, but the weight keeps bringing me down
And I'm the beggar of you
You're taking me when you choose
My words of desire are going to set me on fire tonight
'Cause how you leaned on me
And how you'd sing to me
That's what you mean to me,
And it's perfectly you
And You're the end of my nights,
The starting thoughts at sunrise
You've got me changing but the same things are holding me back
But what I do, it's all for you
It's understood you don't like the change
But don't leave me out, I want you now
I'm sorry how I can't turn you away
But you're worth so much, a priceless touch
And I worry, when you're not perfectly you

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
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.
