My Life With You
Ryan Star Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To all the different places inside my head
But nothing compares to my life with you
And I can build a million castles
I can wish upon all the lucky stars
Nothing compares to my life with you
Streetlamp's out; it's getting cold
I'm better off in your arms
I can't believe we went so far that night
Underneath the burning stars
We saw light
When I was a kid, I'd travel
To all the different places inside my head
But nothing compares to my life with you
And I can build a million castles
I can wish upon all the lucky stars
Nothing compares to my life with you
It's getting late, your sisters call
And we pretend our phones are off
Yeah, I can't stop the moving clock
I never wanted us to part that night
Dancing on your father's car
We were so high
Ohh
Ohh
Ohh
I'd find you...
When I was a kid, I'd travel
When I was a kid, I'd travel
To all the different places inside my head
To all the places inside my head
When I was a kid, I'd travel
To all the different places inside my head
But nothing compares to my life with you
And I can build a million castles
I can wish upon all the lucky stars
Nothing compares to my life with you
Ooh
Ooh
Nothing compares to my life with you
Ooh
Yeah
Ooh
Yeah
Ooh
Ooh
In Ryan Star's song My Life With You, the singer reminisces on their childhood and how they used to travel to different places inside their head. However, nothing compares to their current life with their significant other. The lyrics seem to be about finding love and realizing that it surpasses any fantasies or dreams that the singer may have had before. The chorus echoes this sentiment, with the singer acknowledging that they can build a million castles and wish upon all the lucky stars, but their life with their partner is still the best thing they have experienced.
The second verse takes us to a moment with the singer and their partner, where they are outside under the stars, perhaps wrapped up in each other's arms. The singer doesn't want their partner's coat because being close to them is enough to keep them warm. They also recount a moment where they were dancing on the partner's father's car, feeling "so high." These instances seem to be snapshots of the singer's relationship with their partner, highlighting happy memories and affection.
Overall, the song seems to promote the idea that true love is something that surpasses anything that the singer may have dreamed of in their childhood, and that it is worth holding onto and cherishing even as time passes.
