Make it Last
Virginia To Vegas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As if I had no worth and no belief.
My heart was stuck in shackels
Chained inside my castle,
You're the key
I redid my whole life
This moment in time
I walk through the fire
And I'm moving mountains
Cause you make me stronger, stronger
I'm lost in this moment
I wish we were frozen
Can we make it last a little longer?
Can we make it last a little
Can we make it
Can we make it last a little longer?
I remember drowning out
So don't keep me down I was
On my knees
I would keep the hurt inside
'Cause fear can make you hide from
What you need
I redid my whole life
This moment in time,
You fell from the sky
I walk through the fire
And I'm moving mountains
Cause you make me stronger, stronger
I'm lost in this moment
I wish we were frozen
Can we make it last a little longer?
Can we make it last a little
Can we make it
Can we make it last a little longer?
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I redid my whole life
This moment in time
You fell from the sky
I walk through the fire
And I'm moving mountains
Cause you make me stronger, stronger
I'm lost in this moment
I wish we were frozen
Can we make it last a little longer?
Can we make it last a little
Can we make it
Can we make it last a little longer?
Can we make it last a little
Can we make it
Can we make it last a little longer?
The lyrics to Virginia To Vegas's song Make It Last reflect the transformative power of a romantic relationship that's helped the singer overcome past hurts and insecurities. The opening lines describe a sense of worthlessness and low self-esteem that the singer once experienced, but that changed when they met someone who became the key to unlocking their heart and allowing them to start anew. This person appears to be a life-changing force that makes everything more hopeful and positive, with the love they share helping the singer “walk through the fire” and conquer all kinds of challenges. The lines “I'm lost in this moment, I wish we were frozen” are particularly powerful, suggesting a willingness to hold onto the present moment and the passion it represents.
Overall, the song seems to be about the desire to protect and prolong a special connection with someone who has had an enormous positive impact on the singer's life. The repeated refrain asking whether they can make it last a little longer suggests that the singer is aware that relationships can be fleeting and fragile, and that by asking for more time, they hope to make the bond they share even stronger and more enduring. The idea of “making it last” is clearly important to the singer, as they're able to see the transformative and healing power of love in their own life.
