The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
It's the story of my life
It's how it always begins
I see you once, I see you twice
I got a taste of paradise
It's not as easy as it seems
When you have complicated dreams
So take me home
Take me to the zone tonight
The story of my life It's gonna be alright
Lady I'm your one night man
Come with me and take a chance
You won't forget it
Never regret it
I can promise you that
Lady give me one last dance
Give me, give me, give me all you can
Suavecito, suavecito
Lady I'm your one night man
It's the way it has to be
I know it's hard to understand
And while it breaks my heart to leave
Somehow you got to believe
I will remember now and forever
This precious time we spend together
So take me home
Take me to the zone tonight
The story of my life It's gonna be alright
It's how it always begins
I see you once, I see you twice
I got a taste of paradise
It's not as easy as it seems
When you have complicated dreams
So take me home
Take me to the zone tonight
The story of my life It's gonna be alright
Lady I'm your one night man
Come with me and take a chance
You won't forget it
Never regret it
I can promise you that
Lady give me one last dance
Give me, give me, give me all you can
Suavecito, suavecito
Lady I'm your one night man
It's the way it has to be
I know it's hard to understand
And while it breaks my heart to leave
Somehow you got to believe
I will remember now and forever
This precious time we spend together
So take me home
Take me to the zone tonight
The story of my life It's gonna be alright

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
