Make it last, make it last 
You, me together 
Make it last, make it last 
Now, forever, now start 
One second, two seconds, I reckon 
We'll have a blast if we make it last. 

When I was a young girl, I would not walk 
I thought, why walk when you can run there? 
An hour took forever, a day dragged on and on 
Even summer always seemed to last too long 

But now that I'm grown, it's the days that run away 
I walk at a leisurely pace 
And the people I've known mostly haven't stayed 
Or when we pass in the street, we don't smile, we don't speak 

Banging on the big door of love 
Never got me anywhere 
Now that I've found you I do not want to share 

I leave you in the morning, I leave you on the bed 
And I'm floating on air until the sundown. 
But now we're already staring into the bottom of our bottle of red 

Singing 'da da da dead' 
Everything goes so fast 
So can you make it last?
