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.
Do you remember,
the first time that I saw your smile?
I hadn't seen one like that in a while.
You had a crazy techno style.
I had to have you.
Do you remember,
The way that I could style my hair?
I knew it made you stop and stare.
But I somehow had to make you aware
of my feelings for you.
Do you remember,
our first day at that French cafe?
I had to know just what to say.
You'd stolen my heart right away.
I swear it's true.
Do you remember,
that first time that we heard our song?
I knew that nothing could go wrong.
Even if it rained hard all night long.
I ran before you to the
Eurodiscoteque
It's time we found the love
the love that we've been dreaming of.
Eurodiscoteque
It's time to live the dream,
like living in a magazine.
Eurodiscoteque
Laser lights and pillar beams,
life's never just quite what it seems.
Eurodiscoteque
You only find true love
when you least expect it.
Do you remember,
that weekend we first spend in Berlin?
All that gathered closing down the stem.
180 bpm
My heart cold grew.
Do you remember,
Dancing at the love parade?
And all the flashy dance moves you made?
That's when I knew you'd made the grade.
My feet were dancing.
Do you remember,
the first time that we broke our paths?
That fashion show in Milan?
Even around all those cold out of mien.
I knew you were the one.
Do you remember,
what happened at that foggy, black night?
We'd had such a terrible fight.
But then we saw the disco lights.
We ran hand in hand to a
