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.
Life is good, I can't complain
I mean, I could but no one's listening
Your image overwhelms my brain
And it feels good, good, good
Now I'm rolling my window down
I love the wind, but I hate the sound
You're like a tattoo that I can't remove
And it feels good, it feels good, it feels good
Like a roller coaster ride
Holding on by knuckles like
Whoa, whoa
(Can't believe I'm like)
Whoa, whoa
(Got me feeling like)
Up and down and side to side
Every inch of me is like
Whoa, whoa
(Got me feeling like)
Whoa, whoa
(Got me feeling like)
In the morning it begins again
Feels like I'm falling, better strap me in
I think I'm running out of oxygen
And it feels good, it feels good, it feels good
Like a roller coaster ride
Holding on by knuckles like
Whoa, whoa
(Can't believe I'm like)
Whoa, whoa
(Got me feeling like)
Up and down and side to side
Every inch of me is like
Whoa, whoa
(Got me feeling like)
Whoa, whoa
(Got me feeling like)
My inhibitions are weakening to like the whole situation
I can't help but lose control
No inner friction that I cannot seem to break
It feels good, it feels good
I'm holding on
I'm holding on
Like a roller coaster ride
Like I'm burnin' up the light
Like I'm 'bout to trip inside
This summer night makes me feel like
Whoa
Like a roller coaster, whoa
Holding on by knuckles, whoa
Won't you let your love in? Whoa
Every inch of me is like
Whoa
Got me feeling like
I mean, I could but no one's listening
Your image overwhelms my brain
And it feels good, good, good
Now I'm rolling my window down
I love the wind, but I hate the sound
You're like a tattoo that I can't remove
And it feels good, it feels good, it feels good
Like a roller coaster ride
Holding on by knuckles like
Whoa, whoa
(Can't believe I'm like)
Whoa, whoa
(Got me feeling like)
Up and down and side to side
Every inch of me is like
Whoa, whoa
(Got me feeling like)
Whoa, whoa
(Got me feeling like)
In the morning it begins again
Feels like I'm falling, better strap me in
I think I'm running out of oxygen
And it feels good, it feels good, it feels good
Like a roller coaster ride
Holding on by knuckles like
Whoa, whoa
(Can't believe I'm like)
Whoa, whoa
(Got me feeling like)
Up and down and side to side
Every inch of me is like
Whoa, whoa
(Got me feeling like)
Whoa, whoa
(Got me feeling like)
My inhibitions are weakening to like the whole situation
I can't help but lose control
No inner friction that I cannot seem to break
It feels good, it feels good
I'm holding on
I'm holding on
Like a roller coaster ride
Like I'm burnin' up the light
Like I'm 'bout to trip inside
This summer night makes me feel like
Whoa
Like a roller coaster, whoa
Holding on by knuckles, whoa
Won't you let your love in? Whoa
Every inch of me is like
Whoa
Got me feeling like

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Paha aye, thus the "please keep your hands and feet..." bit, I love that feeling, It's something everyone can relate to xD
to me, its exactly like the feeling when you get when you know your falling for someone. its so perfect, and fun, and wild and you never want it to end because it feels so amazing.
I think this song is about falling hard someone.
Is it just me or is this song really, really hot? XD It just has that feeling of let's have sex about it, even though it doesn't even say that XD
Ahhha, I can agree with the other comment. I just heard this song and now I'm in love with it, I just wish it didn't have the part that goes (please keep your hands and feet in the ride at all time, thank you). But I think it's pretty obvious what this song means, plus the whole "let's have sex" vibe already mentioned.
Well, I'm sure it's not about "lets have sex" given that's not the type of message Aly and AJ are likely to give off...however it is a sexy song.
its about when you cant get someone off your mind and everytime you're with them its like a rollercoaster ride of emotions you feel. when you're with them you feel so high, so amazing, and then when you're not, your down and stuff....at least thats what i think.
