Story of My LIfe
Darren Criss and Chris Colfer Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was alone, I took a ride
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I
Could see another kind of mind there
Ooh, then I suddenly see you
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life

You didn't run, you didn't hide
And had you gone, you knew in time
We'd meet again for I had told you
Ooh, you were meant to be near me
Ooh, and I want you to hear me
Say we'll be together every day
Got to get you into my life

What can I do, what can I be
When I'm with you I want to stay there
If I'm true I'll never leave
And if I do I know the way there
Ooh, then I suddenly see you
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life
Got to get you into my life

I was alone, I took a ride
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I
Could see another kind of mind there
Ooh, then I suddenly see you

Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day

I can't keep it in any longer - I need you in my life

Every single day of my life
I need you every day, without exception

I will always be true to you and never leave you behind

And if I do I know the way there
Even if we were ever separated, I know in my heart how to find my way back to you
