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.
Oh oh
Yeah
Ring my bell
Ooh ooh
Yeah
Ring my bell
I'm back
You're home
The days you really miss me
I guess
You did by the look in your eyes
Now lay back and relax
Let your body put away the distance
Then you and me can rock a bye
You can ring my bell
Ring my bell
You can ring my bell
Ring my bell
Now the night is young
And full of possibilities
Well come on
And let yourself get free
Well the love (the love), for you (for you)
So long, I've been saving
But tonight, it's made for me and you
You can ring my bell
Ring my bell
You can ring my bell
Ring my bell
You can ring my bell
You can ring my bell
Ding-a-ling, ding-a, ah, ring it
You can ring my bell, anytime, any place
Ring it, ring it, ring it, ring it
You can ring my bell
You can ring my bell
Ding-a-ling, ding-a, ah, ring it
You can ring my bell, anytime, any place
Ring it, ring it, ring it, ring it
You can ring my bell
Ring my bell
You can ring my bell
Ring my bell
You can ring my bell
Ring my bell
You can ring my bell
Ring my bell
You can ring my
Anytime baby
You can ring my
Anytime sugar
You can ring my
In the daytime
You can ring my
In the night time
Yeah
Ring my bell
Ooh ooh
Yeah
Ring my bell
I'm back
You're home
The days you really miss me
I guess
You did by the look in your eyes
Now lay back and relax
Let your body put away the distance
Then you and me can rock a bye
You can ring my bell
Ring my bell
You can ring my bell
Ring my bell
Now the night is young
And full of possibilities
Well come on
And let yourself get free
Well the love (the love), for you (for you)
So long, I've been saving
But tonight, it's made for me and you
You can ring my bell
Ring my bell
You can ring my bell

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.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
