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.
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
I want to be in the energy
Right with the enemy, a place for my head
I watch how the moon sits in the sky on a dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
The sun doesn't give light to the moon
Assuming the moons gonna owe it one
And makes think of how you act to me
You do favors that rapidly
You just turn around and start asking me about
Things that you want back from me
I'm sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I'm sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand (you'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy
Not with the enemy, a place for my head
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand (you'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy
Not with the enemy, a place for my head
I want to, I want to, I want to, I want to
Two, two, three, three, yeah, yeah, yeah
Gimme Energon to keep me calm
You and your mom keep all the dram
Used to be a team, passed that baton
But you flop that bomb as you drop that bomb
Take it to the john in your Babylon
Flushed down with the sound that you carry on
I don't really give a dang, you pissed on my lawn
Took a dump like a punk, now the battle's on
So sick of you stressin'
Sick of you fessin'
Sick of you actin' like I owe you somethin'
Find another place to feed your face
If you don't, we gon' bump, get it up, get crunk
Sick of you stressin'
Sick of you fessin'
Sick of you actin' like I owe you somethin'
Find another place to feed your face
If you don't, we gon' bump, get it up, get crunk
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand (you'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy
Not with the enemy, a place for my head
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand (you'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy
Not with the enemy, a place for my head
You try to take the best of me
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me (go away, go away, go away)
You try to take the (you)
Go away, you try to take the best of me
Go away, you try to take the best of me
Go away, you try to take the best of me

Go away, you try to take the best of me
Go away, you try to take the best of me
Go away, you try to take the best of me
Go away, you try to take the best of me
Go away, you try to take the best of me
Go away, you try to take the best of me
Stay away from me
They sound really tasty, man
Do you wanna work on "Pushing Me Away?"
Or do you want me to tell you the "With You" thing first?
We can work on "Pushing Me Away"
I tell you Black Thought's gonna do his thing?
I hate when you say you don't understand
I want to be in the energy
Right with the enemy, a place for my head
I watch how the moon sits in the sky on a dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
The sun doesn't give light to the moon
Assuming the moons gonna owe it one
And makes think of how you act to me
You do favors that rapidly
You just turn around and start asking me about
Things that you want back from me
I'm sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Page

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
