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.
Everyday
Every afternoon
Tried so hard
But lost to God
I thought you're my friend
I'll guess again
I look to the clouds
God gives me a frown
This time next year I'll be married
This time next year I'll say sorry
But Jesus stole my girlfriend
Jesus stole my girlfriend
A smile and a wink
Meant more than a kiss
But I don't see the world
Like you do, girl
We ate and we sung
To glory and fun
But Jesus is here
He ate up our fears
This time next year I'll be married
This time next year I'll say sorry
But Jesus stole my girlfriend
Jesus stole my girlfriend
Ask a friend what to do
I wrote a prayer and made it out to you
Angels listened but they knew I was true
Say our prayers, lift our hands, lift our hands
Glorious
This time next year I'll be married
This time next year I'll say sorry
But Jesus stole my girlfriend
But Jesus stole my girlfriend
But Jesus stole my girlfriend
But Jesus stole my girlfriend
Every afternoon
Tried so hard
But lost to God
I thought you're my friend
I'll guess again
I look to the clouds
God gives me a frown
This time next year I'll be married
This time next year I'll say sorry
But Jesus stole my girlfriend
Jesus stole my girlfriend
A smile and a wink
Meant more than a kiss
But I don't see the world
Like you do, girl
We ate and we sung
To glory and fun
But Jesus is here
He ate up our fears
This time next year I'll be married
This time next year I'll say sorry
But Jesus stole my girlfriend
Jesus stole my girlfriend
Ask a friend what to do
I wrote a prayer and made it out to you
Angels listened but they knew I was true
Say our prayers, lift our hands, lift our hands
Glorious
This time next year I'll be married
This time next year I'll say sorry
But Jesus stole my girlfriend
But Jesus stole my girlfriend
But Jesus stole my girlfriend
But Jesus stole my girlfriend

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
Ok guys. I actually know the meaning of this song cuz i met the band, they told me. He made this song because he was going out with this girl but she couldnt go out with him because of some religious crap so there ya go!
true!
This song could be about him having a girlfriend that's developed faith in god but he doesn't believe in god. Perhaps he tries talking to her about how he sees the world but she doesn't understand it, hence "Tried so hard but lost to god" and "But I don't see the world like you do girl". And by Jesus steeling his girlfriend he means he's losing her to Christianity. She won't fuck anymore cause she believes it's a sin.
I heard this song on the radio, sounded very much to be like Nirvana. I like it. Bring back the grunge!
The first lines are saying he tried really hard to impress her and keep their relationship going, but in the end she chooses her beliefs over him. In his head he figures with time he'll end up giving in and apologizing for things he might of said that upset her and they'll get married ("This time next year I'll be married,this time next year I'll say sorry"). The line "Jesus stole my girlfriend" seems to mean two things: as long as she's only his girlfriend and not his wife they can't have sex and also literally Jesus stole her love away from him, her love has been redirected towards Christianity. Personally I love this song; it really captures the feeling of someone having atheistic views and none the less falling in love with someone who is very religious. Then when the person explains they don't believe in god they are automatically alienated and left alone.
HOLY CRAP THAT HAPPENED TO ME LIKE 2 WEEKS AGO. New theme song acquired.
I though it meant that she died because Jesus stole her from him
I like this song; the lyrics immediately bring to mind a guy whose girlfriend (or the girl he has feelings for) wants to be/is becoming a nun, and since nuns are "married" to God, it's like Jesus "stole" his girlfriend.
Love this song!
The whole album is amazing, it's great! I am a fan now... can't wait for more!=))
