Story of My LIfe
Louis and Zayn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never felt like this before
I really lost my ways
My tears reflect on better days
So what can I do?
To let my past shine through
So, wrap my conscious up in plastic
Split in half, the good ones passing on
To get my life back new
I'm fucked up sitting here in the back seat
Life flies by out the window of taxis now
My life is way too gone to get it back
For that, I'd give my life
I'd give my life to you
To get my life back, ooh
Oh no no
I let the bad take over
Lost that good off my cold shoulder
They said I gave up on myself, but that's not true
I tried to find myself, but I had all been used
The shadow self took me all over
Went through hell, I could've told ya
But I didn't, I'm not sober
I've got older, but I'm not wiser
Everything I wouldn't be, I've gone retired
To the past
Those city lights light up my path
Couldn't make our moments seem to last
So what can I do?
To let my past shine through
So, wrap my conscious up in plastic
Split in half, the good ones passing on
I'd give my life to you
To get my life back new
I'm fucked up sitting here in the back seat
Life flies by out the window of taxis now
My life is way too gone to get it back
For that, I'd give my life
I'd give my life to you
To get my life back, ooh
Oh no no
I let the bad take over
Lost that good off my cold shoulder
The lyrics of "Story of My Life" suggest that the singer has lost his way and his former self, and is in a state of reflection about how to get back to that happier, more authentic self. The line "I'm not me anymore, I never felt like this before" suggests that he feels completely disconnected from his past self and the things that made him who he was. The mention of tears reflecting on better days suggests that he is nostalgic for a time when things were simpler or happier.
The singer acknowledges that he has made mistakes and given in to his "bad" side, allowing it to overshadow the "good" parts of himself. He acknowledges that he has "gone retired to the past," implying that he has given up on moving forward and is instead dwelling on his past mistakes. However, he still hopes to find a way to let his past "shine through," perhaps implying that he wants to learn from his mistakes and use them to become a better version of himself.
The chorus contains a repeated line, "I'd give my life to you, to get my life back new," suggesting that the singer is willing to make a sacrifice in order to start over and become a better person. The line "life flies by out the window of taxis now" suggests that he feels like he is wasting his life and not making the most of it.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a sense of regret and a desire to reclaim one's former self. The singer acknowledges that mistakes have been made but does not give up hope that he can start over and become the person he wants to be.

ME!!!
Anyways here’s a recipe for chocolate chip cookies
Ingredients:
(for 12 cookies)
* ½ cup granulated sugar (100 g)
* ¾ cup brown sugar (165 g), packed
* 1 teaspoon salt
* ½ cup unsalted butter (115 g), melted
* 1 large egg
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (155 g)
* ½ teaspoon baking soda
* 4 oz milk or semi-sweet chocolate chunks (110 g)
* 4 oz dark chocolate chunk (110 g), or your preference
Directions:
1: In a large bowl, whisk together the sugars, salt, and butter until a paste forms with no lumps.
2: Whisk in the egg and vanilla, beating until light ribbons fall off the whisk and remain for a short while before falling back into the mixture.
3: Sift in the flour and baking soda, then fold the mixture with a spatula (Be careful not to overmix, which would cause the gluten in the flour to toughen resulting in cakier cookies).
4: Fold in the chocolate chunks, then chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. For a more intense toffee-like flavor and deeper color, chill the dough overnight. The longer the dough rests, the more complex its flavor will be.
5: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6: Scoop the dough with an ice-cream scoop onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, leaving at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space between cookies and 2 inches (5 cm) of space from the edges of the pan so that the cookies can spread evenly.
7: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges have started to barely brown.
8: Cool completely before serving.
ENJOY 😊❤️

Written in these walls are the stories that I can't explain
I leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for days
She told me in the morning she don't feel the same about us in her bones
It seems to me that when I die, these words will be written on my stone
And I'll be gone, gone tonight
The ground beneath my feet is open wide
The way that I been holdin' on too tight
With nothin' in between
The story of my life, I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm
And time is frozen (the story of, the story of)
The story of my life, I give her hope
I spend her love until she's broke inside
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)
Written on these walls are the colors that I can't change
Leave my heart open, but it stays right here in its cage
I know that in the morning, I'll see us in the light up on the hill
Although I am broken, my heart is untamed still
And I'll be gone, gone tonight
The fire beneath my feet is burnin' bright
The way that I've been holdin' on so tight
With nothin' in between
The story of my life, I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm
And time is frozen (the story of, the story of)
The story of my life, I give her hope
I spend her love until she's broke inside
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)
And I've been waiting for this time to come around
But, baby, runnin' after you is like chasin' the clouds
The story of my life, I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm
And time is frozen
The story of my life, I give her hope (give her hope)
I spend her love until she's broke inside
The story of my life (the story of)
The story of my life
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)
The story of my life
