Fortnight Lyrics: The Real Meaning Behind the Taylor Swift’s Song

I was supposed to be sent away

But they forgot to come and get me

I was a functioning alcoholic

‘Til nobody noticed my new aesthetic

All of this to say I hope you’re okay

But you’re the reason

And no one here’s to blame

But what about your quiet treason?

And for a fortnight there, we were forever

Run into you sometimes, ask about the weather

Now you’re in my backyard, turned into good neighbors

Your wife waters flowers, I wanna kill her

All my mornings are Mondays stuck in an endless February

I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary

And I love you, it’s ruining my life

(I love you, it’s ruining my life)

I touched you for only a fortnight

(I touched you) but I touched you

And for a fortnight there, we were forever

Run into you sometimes, ask about the weather

Now you’re in my backyard, turned into good neighbors

Your wife waters flowers, I wanna kill her

And for a fortnight there, we were together

Run into you sometimes, comment on my sweater

Now you’re at the mailbox, turned into good neighbors

My husband is cheating, I wanna kill him

I love you, it’s ruining my life

(I love you, it’s ruining my life)

I touched you for only a fortnight

(I touched you) I touched you

I love you, it’s ruining my life

(I love you, it’s ruining my life)

I touched you for only a fortnight

(I touched you) I touched you

Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up

‘Nother fortnight lost in America

Move to Florida, buy the car you want

But it won’t start up ’til you touch, touch, touch me

Thought of calling ya, but you won’t pick up

‘Nother fortnight lost in America

Move to Florida, buy the car you want

But it won’t start up ’til I touch, touch, touch you
