[English]

Nothing's forever

That's what I'm told

Seasons may change

People get older

So I'm gonna hold you for the rest of my life

As long as you love me on the other side

'Cause we don't know how long we've got

Here on this rock

But you and me, we'll never stop

You and I, baby, we're timeless

Here tonight and after my final breath

'Cause there's just too many memories made

You can't tell me all of this love goes away

Though, we won't ever make no sense

Baby, we're timeless (ooh, mm)

We could be foolish (oh)

And we can pretend (we can pretend)

Even our best days (even our best days)

They won't come to an end

Oh-oh, so I'm gonna hold you for the rest of my life

As long as you love me on the other side

You and I, baby, we're timeless

Here tonight and after my final breath

'Cause there's just too many memories made

You can't tell me all of this love goes away

Though we won't ever make no sense

Baby, we're timeless, oh, mm

'Cause we don't know how long we've got

Here on this rock

But you and me, we'll never stop

You and I, baby, we're timeless

Here tonight and after my final breath

'Cause there's just too many memories made

You can't tell me all of this love goes away

No, we won't ever make no sense

'Cause, baby, we're timeless

Key Grammar Structures

• Nothing's forever

  ➔ Present Simple (affirmative) with contraction

  ➔ The verb "is" is contracted to "'s" after "Nothing", forming a present‑simple statement.

• Seasons may change

  ➔ Modal verb "may" + base verb (possibility)

  ➔ "May" expresses possibility; it is followed by the base form "change".

• I'm gonna hold you for the rest of my life

  ➔ "be going to" future (informal "gonna")

  ➔ "I'm" = "I am" followed by the informal contraction "gonna" (going to) to indicate a planned future action.

• As long as you love me on the other side

  ➔ Conditional clause with "as long as" + present simple

  ➔ "As long as" introduces a condition; the verb "love" stays in the present simple because the condition refers to a general or ongoing situation.

• We don't know how long we've got

  ➔ Negation with "do not" + present simple; present perfect "have got"

  ➔ "Don't" is the contracted negative of "do not" used with the base verb "know" (present simple). "We've got" is present perfect, indicating possession up to now.

• But you and me, we'll never stop

  ➔ Future simple with "will" + adverb "never"

  ➔ "We'll" = "we will" expresses a future certainty; "never" intensifies the negative meaning.

• You can't tell me all of this love goes away

  ➔ Modal "can" in negative form + infinitive; present simple in subordinate clause

  ➔ "Can't" is "cannot", the negative of the modal "can"; it is followed by the infinitive "tell". The clause "this love goes away" uses present simple to state a general truth.

• We could be foolish

  ➔ Modal "could" + base verb (possibility or conditional)

  ➔ "Could" expresses a hypothetical possibility; it is followed by the base verb "be".

• They won't come to an end

  ➔ Future simple negative with "will not" contracted to "won't"

  ➔ "Won't" is the contraction of "will not" used to express a future negative; the verb "come" follows in its base form.
