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.
I've been ridin' these blue highways
Another night has made me stop
My weary bones can go no farther
And here is where they'll drop
In my dreams your arms will find me
They will hold me through the night
Then release me to my journey
As another day grows light
I've got so many miles to go
And promises to keep
Right now all I want to do
Is be anywhere on earth you are
I have always been a gypsy
And the road call me to roam
But each day brings me closer
To the place where we call home
I've got so many miles to go
And promises to keep
Right now all I want to do
Is be anywhere on earth you are
In my dreams your arms will find me
They will hold me through the night
Right now all I want to do
Is be anywhere on earth you are
Another night has made me stop
My weary bones can go no farther
And here is where they'll drop
In my dreams your arms will find me
They will hold me through the night
Then release me to my journey
As another day grows light
I've got so many miles to go
And promises to keep
Right now all I want to do
Is be anywhere on earth you are
I have always been a gypsy
And the road call me to roam
But each day brings me closer
To the place where we call home
I've got so many miles to go
And promises to keep
Right now all I want to do
Is be anywhere on earth you are
In my dreams your arms will find me
They will hold me through the night
Right now all I want to do
Is be anywhere on earth you are

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
