Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
We can't leave well enough alone
Sometimes you don't get what you want, no
Soon as you pop up on my phone
It's like here we go again
Crazy it's déjà vu, I swear we been here before
If I say I'm sick of you, then how you the antidote?
And if I keep on taking you, I swear I might overdose
I should just let it go, but why can't I let it go?
I guess we both know it's really over (over)
It's a shame 'cause we just need some closure (closure)
The problem is nobody wanna go first (go first)
It's just O-V-E-Rr, O-V-E-Rr
Over and over until we both say so (both say so)
So why we keep on going down the same road? (Same road)
Promise we gon' end it 'cause we both know (both know)
It's just O-V-E-Rr, O-V-E-Rr
Yeah (fiendin' your juice)
(Fiendin' your juice) Yeah
(Fiendin', fiendin')
(Fiendin' your juice)
(Faded)
We can't keep doing this again
We love each other but we both can't win
Once we get started can we begin
To even be friends? Yeah
Crazy it's déjà vu, I swear we been here before
If I say I'm sick of you, then how you the antidote?
And if I keep on taking you, I swear I might overdose
Why can't I let it go, why can't I let it go?
I guess we both know it's really over (over)
It's a shame 'cause we just need some closure (closure)
The problem is nobody wanna go first (go first)
It's just O-V-E-Rr, O-V-E-Rr
Over and over until we both say so (both say so)
So why we keep on going down the same road? (Same road)
Promise we gon' end it 'cause we both know (both know)
It's just O-V-E-Rr, O-V-E-Rr

Fortnight

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.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.
