Discover the story of the song > Make It Good – Fink

The protagonist is saying that if he starts something, he will commit to it fully because once it's over, it's gone forever. He wishes that his partner had stayed with him so they could work on fixing their relationship. He promises to make things sweet and memorable if she stays, but if she leaves, they will never know how their story ends, so he wants to make their time together count and "make it good."
