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.
It's the same old me
In the same old clothes
Same old face
That you're sure to know
Same old blue side of me, baby
With the same old love for you
It's the same old day
In the same old week
I got the same old shivers
Won't you sail away with me?
Same old blue side of me, baby
With the same old love for you
Oh, the blue side is the true side
For anyone who's had a broken heart
And the blue side is the you side
'Cause you won't give this love another start
Got the same old legs
In the same blue jeans
In the same old head
Lies the same old dream
Same old blue side of me, baby
With the same old love for you
And the blue side is the you side
'Cause you won't give this love another start
It's the same old blue side of me, baby
With the same old love
It's the same old blue side of me, baby
With the same old love for you, ooh
In the same old clothes
Same old face
That you're sure to know
Same old blue side of me, baby
With the same old love for you
It's the same old day
In the same old week
I got the same old shivers
Won't you sail away with me?
Same old blue side of me, baby
With the same old love for you
Oh, the blue side is the true side
For anyone who's had a broken heart
And the blue side is the you side
'Cause you won't give this love another start
Got the same old legs
In the same blue jeans
In the same old head
Lies the same old dream
Same old blue side of me, baby
With the same old love for you
And the blue side is the you side
'Cause you won't give this love another start
It's the same old blue side of me, baby
With the same old love
It's the same old blue side of me, baby
With the same old love for you, ooh

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.

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Ed Sheeran
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.
