I don't know people have started to make me think it could also be about Matty :jonny: 

I think most is about Joe and then other parts are about Matty.

I'm eating the way she sings "declassified" right now

 

Like I kinda want to listen to that over and over and over and just fathom it

I always assumed he was :dies: Matty is not a lover you'd want forever. Especially for someone like Taylor

TTPD is about Joe. 
 

I read a theory someone posted that Fortnight sounds as if it could be written from the future if she ran into Joe, but also…fortnight . I feel like it's one of the ones I need to read the lyrics to. :deadbanana2:

someone posted the lyrics to fortnight like two pages ago

This album is so lyrically dense, i could read y'all quoting a lyric, & not remember which song it's from despite just listening to it 5 mins ago

Here are the title track's lyrics:

Spoiler

You left your typewriter at my apartment. 
Straight from the tortured poets department. 
I think some things I never say,
Like who uses typewriters anyway? 
But you're in self sabotage modes,
throwing spikes down on the road. 
But I've seen this episode and still love to show 
Who else decodes you and who's gonna love you like me
Who's gonna know you if not me?

I laughed in your face and said, 
You're not Dylan Thomas. 
I'm not Patty Smith. 
This ain't the Chelsea Hotel.
We're modern idiots
Who's gonna love you like me
Nobody 
No ******* body 
Nobody

You smoked then ate seven bars of chocolate.
We declare Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist.
I scratch your head, you fall asleep
Like a tattooed golden retriever 
But you awaken with dread pounding nails in your head 
But I let this one way come undone 
I chose this cyclone with you

Who's gonna love you like me
Who's gonna hold you?
I laughed in your face and said,
You're not Dylan Thomas.
I'm not Patty Smith.
This ain't the Chelsea Hotel.
We're modern idiots
Who's gonna love you like me
Nobody 
No ******* body
Nobody

Sometimes I wonder if you're gonna screw this up with me
But you told Lucy you'd kill yourself if I ever leave 
And I had said that to Jack about you, so I felt seen 
Everyone we know understands why it's meant to be
Cause we're crazy

So tell me

Who's gonna love you like me?

At dinner you take my ring off
my middle finger and put it on the one
people put wedding rings on 
and that's the closest I've come to my heart exploded

You're not Dylan Thomas. 
I'm not Patty Smith.
This ain't the Chelsea Hotel. 
We're modern idiots
Who's gonna love you like me 
Nobody 
No ******* body 
Nobody

i thot TTPD was abt joe but we all see him on the beach on paparazzi photos before and he has ZERO tattoos. so the tattoed golden retriever line is making me think is abt matty. which is kinda insane bc i can't believe she named an album after a track dedicated to him.

She can still take some creative liberties. The rest of the song sounds 1000% Joe coded.

The last minute of Fortnight is so good :jonny:I love how it builds up to that point

 

My favorites on first listen: 

 

Guilty as Sin?

Fortnight

The Black Dog

I Can Fix Him (No Really, I Can)

Tbh I get how this can be more Matty than Joe. After 6 years of what sounds like off and on you kinda already knew what your long term dynamic was gonna be if you kept trying, you're exhausted at that point. The manic fling is the death at the high, when you're still thinking of all that could be

It's definitely Matty--Joe does not have tattoos, and the Jehovah's Witness suits are Matty's 1975 stage outfitmalaysia-british-band-02481.jpg

I fear we might be

Midnights sounded more like a break-up album than TTPD. Hell, even 1989.

 

The big surprise. I thought Joe will be eviscerated, Dear John + Is It Over Now? type of microwaving.
