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.
Imagine you could tear the world apart,
Lay it all out like a weather chart.
Take your time 'cause you're up against space,
Sweep up the tears running down your face.
You burn bright when you're left alone,
Build up the speed to bring you home.
Turn off the lights and watch you glow!
To the end of all time, just so I can see the light and climb over you.
To the end of all time, just so I can see the light and climb away.
Light speed can't last for long,
see it backslide in the burning sun.
By the way I'd let you know,
the quiet way you peeled off when I let you go.
Turn off the lights and watch you glow!
To the end of all time, just so I can see the light and climb over you.
To the end of all time, just so I can see the light and climb away.
See the world with the faintest glow,
she breaks apart with one final glow.
You answer this now and only hear us,
its the end of all time.
To the end of all time, just so I can see the light and climb over you.
To the end of all time, just so I can see the light and climb away.
To the end of all time, just so I can see the light and climb over you.
To the end of all time, just so I can see the light and climb away.
Over you
Lay it all out like a weather chart.
Take your time 'cause you're up against space,
Sweep up the tears running down your face.
You burn bright when you're left alone,
Build up the speed to bring you home.
Turn off the lights and watch you glow!
To the end of all time, just so I can see the light and climb over you.
To the end of all time, just so I can see the light and climb away.
Light speed can't last for long,
see it backslide in the burning sun.
By the way I'd let you know,
the quiet way you peeled off when I let you go.
Turn off the lights and watch you glow!
To the end of all time, just so I can see the light and climb over you.
To the end of all time, just so I can see the light and climb away.
See the world with the faintest glow,
she breaks apart with one final glow.
You answer this now and only hear us,
its the end of all time.
To the end of all time, just so I can see the light and climb over you.
To the end of all time, just so I can see the light and climb away.
To the end of all time, just so I can see the light and climb over you.
To the end of all time, just so I can see the light and climb away.
Over you

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,
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.
Punchline

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
:D
Aaaaaah. Why has no one else commented? Personally, I think it's sticking with someone you love forever, through thick and thin, no matter what happens.
Small lyrics corrections:
Each time it comes up it's "just so I can see the lightning chime/over you" (it's only "climb/over me").
"backslide into a burning sun"
"break apart and you're dealt the final blow your eyes turn to snow and don't you realize it's the end of all time"
