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 only confusion
When your dreams hit the floor
You make your decision
But you can't hide when your heart calls
This is my confession
(You always make me do what I don't want to)
Now I've learnt my lesson
(I don't know what to do thinking about you)
[Chorus]
You can't run or hide from the tears inside
No matter what you say it's only nature's way
And sometimes in your life it's such a lonely climb
And no one takes the blame it's only nature's way
It's nature's way nature's way nature's way
It's no problem no problem don't bother me
It's thunder and lightning
With every beat of your heart
You may wish it were over
But we both knew right from the start
This is my confession
(You always make me do what I don't want to)
Now I've learnt my lesson
(I don't know what to do thinking about you)
Repeat chorus
It's nature's way nature's way nature's way
It's no problem no problem it's here to stay
What is the future
What is the point in making any plans when you're never here
You always build my hopes my dreams
Nothing with you is ever what it seems
Repeat chorus
It's nature's way nature's way nature's way
It's no problem no problem it's here to stay
You can't run or hide from the tears inside
No matter what you say (don't bother me)
And sometimes in your life it's such a lonely climb
And no one takes the blame (it's here to stay)
[Repeat to fade]
When your dreams hit the floor
You make your decision
But you can't hide when your heart calls
This is my confession
(You always make me do what I don't want to)
Now I've learnt my lesson
(I don't know what to do thinking about you)
[Chorus]
You can't run or hide from the tears inside
No matter what you say it's only nature's way
And sometimes in your life it's such a lonely climb
And no one takes the blame it's only nature's way
It's nature's way nature's way nature's way
It's no problem no problem don't bother me
It's thunder and lightning
With every beat of your heart
You may wish it were over
But we both knew right from the start
This is my confession
(You always make me do what I don't want to)
Now I've learnt my lesson
(I don't know what to do thinking about you)
Repeat chorus
It's nature's way nature's way nature's way
It's no problem no problem it's here to stay
What is the future
What is the point in making any plans when you're never here
You always build my hopes my dreams
Nothing with you is ever what it seems
Repeat chorus
It's nature's way nature's way nature's way
It's no problem no problem it's here to stay
You can't run or hide from the tears inside
No matter what you say (don't bother me)
And sometimes in your life it's such a lonely climb
And no one takes the blame (it's here to stay)
[Repeat to fade]

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”
