Make it Last
Kate Miller-Heidke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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?
The song "Make It Last" by Kate Miller-Heidke is a melancholic but sweet love song. The lyrics deal with the fleeting nature of time and how the passing of time can make life seem to go by too quickly. The beginning of the song reflects on how as a child, time seemed to move slowly, but as an adult, the days pass by too quickly. The chorus is a plea to make the love between the two people last forever. The lines "Make it last, make it last, You, me together," shows the commitment to the relationship and wanting it to last forever.
The second verse talks about how the singer had been searching for love and banging on the "big door of love," only to be unsuccessful. But now that they have found their partner, they don't want to share them with anyone else. The singer talks about floating on air when they are with their partner and that they don't want this feeling to end. However, the song ends on a bittersweet note, as they acknowledge that time moves fast and everything eventually comes to an end. The repeated phrase "Everything goes so fast, So can you make it last?" shows the desire to hold on to the moment and make it last forever.
Overall, "Make It Last" is a beautiful ode to love and the desire for it to endure. The song's poignant lyrics and Kate Miller-Heidke's lovely vocals create a mesmerizing and emotionally charged listening experience.

I have always loved this song. Now, i adore the video. 😘😘😘😘
Kate's original personality is what hooks me to all her songs. You can sense in every song of hers, the painstaking effort she exerts in them, meanwhile, the fun she has while singing is not covert.
Seeing this video has less than one million views makes me sad a little. Kate is absolutely fantastic, and I wish everyone had a chance to listen any of her eargasmic songs.
