its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
You can have my body
You can steal my car
You can take my money
You can have what you like but it won’t get you very far
‘cause my heart belongs to an eighteen year old lesbian
You can be my lover
We can have a fling
You can say your mine forever
You tell me what you like but it won’t get you anything
Because my heart belongs to an eighteen year old lesbian
I can quite believe it after searching year of lonely searching
I’ve stumbled hear on my ideal girl
And forget about logistics though she’s seven years my junior
So what if she likes kissing girls as well it doesn’t matter
‘cause I know I’ve found my only one she has my heart forever
but ill keep my feelings to myself I’d never dare to tell her
‘cause she tends to wont females
And I definitely a fella but if she was mine by God I’d love her well
You can be my buddy
Oh we’ll be best of friends
And you may be smart or funny
We may be the perfect pair but there’ll be tears in the end
’cause my heart belongs to an eighteen year old lesbian
I don’t see why I shouldn’t be allowed to have my dream
Just because we bat for different sides
Just look at Romeo and Juliet they ended up together
Though admittedly they prenatally died
Doesn’t matter
Because next time I see her I’m goanna pledge my heart forever and I’ll ask for her hand although I won’t forget to tell her
That I don’t mind wearing dresses if she wants to be the fella
‘cause I think I’ll make a really lovely bride
I can quite believe it after searching year of lonely searching
I’ve stumbled hear on my ideal girl
Ooh and forget about logistics though she’s seven years my junior
So what if she likes kissing girls as well it doesn’t matter
‘cause next time I see her I’m goanna pledge my heart forever and I’ll ask for her hand although I wont forget to tell her
That I don’t mind wearing dresses if she wants to be the fella
‘cause I think I’ll make a really lovely bride
Ooh my heart belongs to an eighteen year old eighteen year old lesbian
You can steal my car
You can take my money
You can have what you like but it won’t get you very far
‘cause my heart belongs to an eighteen year old lesbian
You can be my lover
We can have a fling
You can say your mine forever
You tell me what you like but it won’t get you anything
Because my heart belongs to an eighteen year old lesbian

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.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.

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”
The internal conflicts between the sensible mind and the romantic theoretical mind in the heart breaking issue of unreciprocated love.
