The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
You come to me with
Scars on your wrist.
You tell me this will be the last night
Feeling like this.
I just came to say good bye
Didn't want you to see me cry
I'm fine
But I know it's a lie
This is the last night
You'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes
So I know you know
I'm everywhere
You want me to be
The last night
You'll spend alone
I'll wrap you in my arms
And I won't let go
I'm everything
You need me to be
Your parents say
Everything is your fault
But they don't know you like I know you
They don't know you at all
I'm so sick of when they say
"Its just a phase you'll be ok
You're fine"
But I know it's a lie
This is the last night
You'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes
So I know you know
I'm everywhere
You want me to be
(The last night
Away from me)
The night is so long when
Everything's wrong
If you give me your hand
I will help you hold on
Tonight
Tonight
This is the last night
You'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes
So I know you know
I'm everywhere
You want me to be
I won't let you say goodbye
And I'll be your reason why
The last night
Away from me
Away from me
Scars on your wrist.
You tell me this will be the last night
Feeling like this.
I just came to say good bye
Didn't want you to see me cry
I'm fine
But I know it's a lie
This is the last night
You'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes
So I know you know
I'm everywhere
You want me to be
The last night
You'll spend alone
I'll wrap you in my arms
And I won't let go
I'm everything
You need me to be
Your parents say
Everything is your fault
But they don't know you like I know you
They don't know you at all
I'm so sick of when they say
"Its just a phase you'll be ok
You're fine"
But I know it's a lie
This is the last night
You'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes
So I know you know
I'm everywhere
You want me to be
(The last night
Away from me)
The night is so long when
Everything's wrong
If you give me your hand
I will help you hold on
Tonight
Tonight
This is the last night
You'll spend alone
Look me in the eyes
So I know you know
I'm everywhere
You want me to be
I won't let you say goodbye
And I'll be your reason why
The last night
Away from me
Away from me

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.

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.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I believe this song has TWO meanings. at least that is... 1) this song can be about a human relationship here on earth. where the girl feels lost and is so close to the edge she doesn't wanna be here anymore. but her guy "won't let her say goodbye" he will never leave her alone in this world of corruption and horror. 2) this song can also be about a relationship with God. She finally goes to God looking for answers cuz she can't live this life alone anymore. She is looking for something useful in her life. She realizes that with God as her Savior, He will protect her in His arms and never let go. And with God on her side she will never be alone.
again this is just what i think...im just a 17 year old who was saved by music like this. so thank you to this band, and to all their fans and listeners. :D
