"Pounding" Lyrics

I can't stand by
And see you destroyed
I can't be here
And watch you burn up
Lie for the moment
And lie as a decoy
So does it matter
If I give in easy?
So why
Is it so hard to get by?

[Chorus]
And I say
We so down
But it's now or never baby
We don't mind
If this don't last forever
See the light
But it won't last forever
Seize the time
Cause it's now or never baby

Let's leave at sunrise
Let's live by the ocean
I don't mind
If we never come home at all
Steal the morning
So set in motion
In and out of love
And institutions
Cause I know
This can't last for long

[Chorus]

So why
Is it so hard to get by?
And I say

We so down
But this can't last forever
We don't mind
Cause it's now or never baby
