A Life
We the Kings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of your life is so twisted
'Cause someone out there is missing
Everything you do
You're wasted
Nothing ever really makes sense
If you keep searching you'll find me
So leave behind your troubled eyes
See brand new what I can do
Just say yes if you really want me to
We can stay like this or go, go, go
We can take it too fast or take it slow
We can spend our lives oceanside
Or count the stars in the desert
On a magic night
You can lie awake in bed
Or come and sleep with me instead
If you give me one chance to take your hand
I'll fill the empty pages as you write
The story of your life
The story
Of your life is unwritten
So put me down as your ticket
Don't even fight it
You're shaking
You're not sure of the ending
But let me be the beginning
Just put it in writing
So leave behind your troubled eyes
See brand new what I can do
Just say yes if you really want me to
We can stay like this or go, go, go
We can take it too fast or take it slow
We can spend our lives oceanside
Or count the stars in the desert
On a magic night
You can lie awake in bed
Or come and sleep with me instead
If you give me one chance to take your hand
I'll fill the empty pages as you write
The story of your life
This is now, no I don't mean maybe
Just wanna scream and call you baby now
Take a chance and call me crazy
Smile kid, there's only one way out
We can stay like this or go, go, go
We can take it too fast or take it slow
We can spend our lives oceanside
Or count the stars in the desert
On a magic night
You can lie awake in bed
Or come and sleep with me instead
If you give me one chance to take your hand
I'll fill the empty pages as you write
The story of your life
Fill the empty pages
Fill the empty pages
In "The Story of Your Life" by We the Kings, the singer seems to be addressing someone who is going through a difficult time in their life. The first verse suggests that this person is struggling to find meaning or direction, and feels lost or alone.

The second verse is a continuation of this theme, with the singer urging the person to "put [them] down as your ticket" and trust them to help write the story of their life. Despite the uncertainty of what lies ahead, the singer offers to be the beginning of a new chapter for this person.
The chorus emphasizes the idea of choice, with the singer offering multiple options for how the story of their life could play out. Whether they stay in one place or explore new horizons, they can do it together and make it memorable. The bridge features a more urgent tone, with the singer seeming to plead with the person to take a chance on them and let them be part of the story.
