Would we expect the oscillation to get smaller over time, like a pendulum, or is that stretching the analogy too far?

There might be some gas in the way that would slow it down slightly, but I expect that to be a very long time scale compared to other things like interactions with other systems and even the upcoming collision with Andromeda.
