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.

See, my days are cold without you
But I'm hurting while I'm with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you
See, my days are cold without you
But I'm hurting while I'm with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you
Baby, I don't know why you're treating me so bad (treat me so bad)
You said you love me, no one above me and I was all you had (all you had)
And though my heart is beating for you, I can't stop crying
I don't know how I allow you to treat me this way and still I stay
See, my days are cold without you (without you)
But I'm hurting while I'm with you (oh, oh)
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you (keep on running back to you)
See, my days are cold without you (without you)
But I'm hurting while I'm with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you
Baby, I don't know why you wanna do me wrong (do me wrong)
See when I'm home, I'm all alone and you are always gone (always gone)
And boy, you know I really love you, I can't deny
I can't see how you could bring me to so many tears after all these years
See, my days are cold without you (my days, yeah)
But I'm hurting while I'm with you
And though my heart can't take no more (no more, no more)
I keep on running back to you
See, my days are cold without you (without you)
But I'm hurting while I'm with you (without you)
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you (I keep on running back to you)
Ooh, I trusted you, I trusted you
So sad, so sad what love will make you do
All the things that we accept
Be the things that we regret
So all of my ladies (ladies)
Feel me, come on, sing with me
See, when I get the strength to leave
You always tell me that you need me
And I'm weak 'cause I believe you
And I'm mad because I love you
So I stop and think that maybe
You can learn to appreciate me
Then it all remains the same
That you ain't never gonna change
Never gonna change, never gonna change
See, my days are cold without you (my days are cold, baby)
But I'm hurting while I'm with you
And though my heart can't take no more (no more, no more)
I keep on running back to you
See, my days are cold without you (without you)
But I'm hurting while I'm with you
And though my heart can't take no more (no more, no more)
I keep on running back to you
Baby, why you hurt me, leave me and desert me?
Boy, I gave you all my heart and all you did was tear it up
Looking out my window, knowing that I should go
Even when I pack my bags, there's something always holding me back

The Night We Met

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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/
I think every girl has had this promble one in there life.I know I have.. You love him but u can't stayed to be with him. just remember girls.. He loves u but u have to remeber he doesn't really know wat love is.. so he loves u the best way.. but I say don't let him learn what love is on u.. cuz once he relizes what love is.. he's going to be missing out on a great person... u'll always love him but u don't have to be with him if he treats u like crap don't put up with it!!!!
