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 join the queue on your answer phone
And all I am is holding breath
Just pick up, I know you're there
Can't you hear, I'm not myself
Well go ahead and lie to me
You could say anything
Small talk will be just fine
Your voice is everything
We owe it to love and it all depends on you
So listen up, the sun hasn't set
I refuse to believe that it's only me feeling
Just hear me out, I'm not over you yet
It's love on the line, can you handle it
So how do I do normal
A smile I fake
A permanent wave of
Cue-cards and fix-it kits
Can't you tell, I'm not myself
I'm a slow-motion accident
Lost in coffee rings and finger prints
I don't want to feel anything
But I do, and it all comes back to you
So listen up, the sun hasn't set
I refuse to believe that it's only me feeling
Just hear me out, I'm not over you yet
It's love on the line, can you handle it
So listen up (Hear me out)
Look at me straight (This time you gotta listen to me)
Just hear me out (This time you gotta listen to me)
Don't make me wait (This time you gotta listen to me)
I'm not myself (This time you gotta listen to me)
I can't take this (This time you gotta listen to me)
Love's on the line
Is that your final answer?
I join the queue on your answer phone
And all I am is holding breath
Just pick up, I know you're there
So listen up, the sun hasn't set
I refuse to believe that it's only me feeling
Just hear me out, I'm not over you yet
It's love on the line, can you handle it
So listen up, the sun hasn't set
I refuse to believe that it's only me feeling
Just hear me out, I'm not over you
It's love on the line, can you handle it
So listen up, the sun hasn't set
I refuse to believe that it's only me feeling
Just hear me out, I'm not over you yet
It's love on the line, can you handle it
And all I am is holding breath
Just pick up, I know you're there
Can't you hear, I'm not myself
Well go ahead and lie to me
You could say anything
Small talk will be just fine
Your voice is everything
We owe it to love and it all depends on you
So listen up, the sun hasn't set
I refuse to believe that it's only me feeling
Just hear me out, I'm not over you yet
It's love on the line, can you handle it
So how do I do normal
A smile I fake
A permanent wave of
Cue-cards and fix-it kits
Can't you tell, I'm not myself
I'm a slow-motion accident
Lost in coffee rings and finger prints
I don't want to feel anything
But I do, and it all comes back to you
So listen up, the sun hasn't set
I refuse to believe that it's only me feeling
Just hear me out, I'm not over you yet
It's love on the line, can you handle it
So listen up (Hear me out)
Look at me straight (This time you gotta listen to me)
Just hear me out (This time you gotta listen to me)
Don't make me wait (This time you gotta listen to me)

It's love on the line, can you handle it
So listen up, the sun hasn't set
I refuse to believe that it's only me feeling
Just hear me out, I'm not over you yet
It's love on the line, can you handle it
