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.
Sun was shining through on this perfect morning and i know that i am blessed
But i'm guilty nonetheless so many people lost so many people hurting
And i wish i had a way to make everything okay
I don't know why how we got here i reach inside
The answers clear...
[Chorus:]
Only love can heal the pain it can right the wrong
It can take the blame only love can realize nothing more we need
Cause its all inside
So we'll fight, fight and we wont let go
And we'll reach up high 'Till everybody knows
Only love can understand Only love can bring us together again
And it seems since time began that people just been fighting
And it ain't just black or white and it ain't just wrong or right
And I get overwhelmed so disconnected 'till you reach out to me
You know just what i need
As long as i can hold you near its gonna be alright
Wont have no fear
[CHORUS]
I pray for peace to shine on me and you
I pray for strength hope and faith
For love to lead the way
We'll be one on one and we'll rise above
Only love, love, love
And we'll fight, fight, fight
For the light, light, light
And we wont stop NO
'Till we get it right
But i'm guilty nonetheless so many people lost so many people hurting
And i wish i had a way to make everything okay
I don't know why how we got here i reach inside
The answers clear...
[Chorus:]
Only love can heal the pain it can right the wrong
It can take the blame only love can realize nothing more we need
Cause its all inside
So we'll fight, fight and we wont let go
And we'll reach up high 'Till everybody knows
Only love can understand Only love can bring us together again
And it seems since time began that people just been fighting
And it ain't just black or white and it ain't just wrong or right
And I get overwhelmed so disconnected 'till you reach out to me
You know just what i need
As long as i can hold you near its gonna be alright
Wont have no fear
[CHORUS]
I pray for peace to shine on me and you
I pray for strength hope and faith
For love to lead the way
We'll be one on one and we'll rise above
Only love, love, love
And we'll fight, fight, fight
For the light, light, light
And we wont stop NO
'Till we get it right

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Just A Little Lovin'

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/
