Make It Last
Eternal Moments: Embracing Love's Timeless Dance
Lyrics
Make it last, make it last
Expresses the desire to make a moment or relationship endure.
You, me together
Refers to the unity of "you" and "me" in the effort to make something last.
Make it last, make it last
Reiterates the desire to sustain something, now and in the future.
Now, forever, now start
Implies a commitment to eternal continuity, marked by a new beginning.
One second, two seconds, I reckon
Enumerates seconds, emphasizing the fleeting nature of time, countered by the hope for a lasting experience.
We'll have a blast if we make it last.
Suggests that making it last will result in a joyful and memorable time.
When I was a young girl, I would not walk
Reflects on the impatience of youth and the eagerness to rush through life.
I thought, why walk when you can run there?
Questions the necessity of walking when one can reach a destination faster by running.
An hour took forever, a day dragged on and on
Highlights the perception of time dragging during childhood.
Even summer always seemed to last too long
Conveys that even enjoyable moments, like summer, felt prolonged in the past.
But now that I'm grown, it's the days that run away
Contrasts the acceleration of days in adulthood, emphasizing their fleeting nature.
I walk at a leisurely pace
Describes a slower pace of life and a more relaxed attitude.
And the people I've known mostly haven't stayed
Addresses the transient nature of relationships and connections.
Or when we pass in the street, we don't smile, we don't speak
Depicts a lack of intimacy in passing encounters, symbolizing the brevity of connections.
Banging on the big door of love
Metaphorically represents pursuing love but facing obstacles and disappointments.
Never got me anywhere
Expresses the futility of previous attempts at love.
Now that I've found you I do not want to share
After finding love, there is a reluctance to share or lose it.
I leave you in the morning, I leave you on the bed
Describes the act of leaving in the morning and on the bed, suggesting a continuous cycle.
And I'm floating on air until the sundown.
Conveys a sense of elation and weightlessness until the end of the day.
But now we're already staring into the bottom of our bottle of red
Acknowledges the finite nature of moments, symbolized by the bottom of a bottle of red wine.
Singing 'da da da dead'
Introduces a playful and possibly morbid phrase ('da da da dead') amid the fleeting nature of time.
Everything goes so fast
Reflects on the rapid pace of life, prompting a plea to make meaningful moments last.
So can you make it last?
Poses a direct question, asking if it's possible to extend and preserve precious moments.
