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.
Who's gonna save us all
Nothing and nobody but you
Who's gonna make me whole
Nothing and nobody but you
Can't change me, sway me
Don't know what to make of me
You got my devotion fanatical though it may be
I love your mind, heart, body and soul
You're the only sanctuary that I know
I don't need to stare at stained glass and a steeple
I don't need to dress to impress all other people
Don't need no priest, don't need no pew
You are my religion, my religion is you
I don't need no other purpose, you give me a reason
Ain't their business what I wanna believe in
You are my priest, you are my truth
You are my religion, my religion is you
Who's gonna heal my pain
Nothing makes me feel like you do
Who can drive my demons away
Nothing makes me heal like you do
I love your mind, heart, body and soul
You're the only sanctuary that I know
I don't need to stare at stained glass and a steeple
I don't need to dress to impress all other people
Don't need no priest, don't need no pew
You are my religion, my religion is you
I don't need no other purpose, you give me a reason
Ain't their business what I wanna believe in
You are my priest, you are my truth
You are my religion, my religion is you
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me, oh oh oh
Mind, heart, soul, and strength belong to you, belong to me
Got my devotion, I will follow where you lead
I won't be told what to feel and how to show
My love can't be stopped love you any way I want
I don't need to stare at stained glass and a steeple
I don't need to dress to impress all other people
Don't need no priest, don't need no pew
You are my religion, my religion is you
I don't need no other purpose, you give me a reason
Ain't their business what I wanna believe in
You are my priest, you are my truth
You are my religion, my religion is you
You are my religion, my religion is you
You are my religion, my religion is you
You are my religion, my religion is you
Nothing and nobody but you
Who's gonna make me whole
Nothing and nobody but you
Can't change me, sway me
Don't know what to make of me
You got my devotion fanatical though it may be
I love your mind, heart, body and soul
You're the only sanctuary that I know
I don't need to stare at stained glass and a steeple
I don't need to dress to impress all other people
Don't need no priest, don't need no pew
You are my religion, my religion is you
I don't need no other purpose, you give me a reason
Ain't their business what I wanna believe in
You are my priest, you are my truth
You are my religion, my religion is you
Who's gonna heal my pain
Nothing makes me feel like you do
Who can drive my demons away
Nothing makes me heal like you do

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”

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

“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.
I think it means that no one can tell me who i want to be with, you are my life, you are my friend and i love you, and no one can tell me that you're not my girlfriend/wife.
@chubbynubz1 it's a song dedicated to Jesus. Not about human relationships.
