Best Answer

Merriam Webster Last intransitive/transitive verb

Meaning to continue for a long time.

So make it last means make it continue for a long time (long being subjective as bridges are built to last for a hundred years or more while clothes are made to last for maybe ten years)

In the song he wants the feeling of being with his girlfriend to last, to continue to have that feeling for a long time.

You can use it in many situations

  • Don't drink all the milk, we have to make it last.
  • Can you fix this and make it last ?
  • We tried but it didn't last (where something you hoped would go on for a long time doesn't)
