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.
Don’t tell me anything
Anyhow
Your contribution
Proposolution
Fails for now
Cause I can see your house from here
Now the leaves have fallen down
You’re such a little probalty
As your confession
Draws money
So darling don’t
Don’t sell me anything
Of any kind
Your one time offer
Is so uncalled for
You call it peace of mind
But I don’t want your life insurance
Or motor held fire insurance
Just make this place a difference
And implore a little common sense
Some man again
Are found on listless
Are rather fistless in time
That’s what I find
Carry me to mecca
With what you made divine
Take me with you take me with you
Don’t leave me behind
So darling don’t
Don’t give me anything
Of any kind
You tar donation
Commercialization
It’s just a waste of time
Cause I can see your ship from here
Now the weather’s bright and clear
I can see you’re such a little probalty
As your confession draws near

Magical

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
This song is actually "The Privateers," and these posted lyrics have a lot of mistakes. The actual lyrics are posted under the correct title.
Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire released a CD called "Oh! The Grandeur" in 1999 with this song on the album. On the track listing, it is actually called "The Confession." "The Privateers" uses many of the lyrics from this older song.<br />
Good call.
