We said tonight
No going back
Nothing seems right
Stuck in the past

遠回りも寄り道も
(Toomawari mo yorimichi mo)
すべてのことに意味があって
(Subete no koto ni imi ga atte)
空回りもその痛みも
(Karamawari mo, sono itami mo)
When am I, when am I
Gonna stop this dreaming?

When I was king
I was king
We had everything

When I was king
I was king
We had everything

Don’t wanna go
I’m holding on tight
Something to live for
Make it our nights
(Shut down the sirens in our heads)

When I was king
I was king
We had everything

When I was king
I was king
We had everything

If I go down
I will go down fighting
I’ll go down
Down like lightning

When am I when am I
Gonna start living?
When am I when am I
Gonna move on?
When am I when am I
Gonna kill this feeling?
When am I when am I
Gonna stop this dreaming?

When I was king
I was king
We had everything

ONE OK ROCK is a Japanese band with a punk-rock/hard rock style. As of 2018, the band comprises of Takahiro Moriuchi (vocals), Toru Yamashita (lead guitar), Ryota Kohama (bass), and Tomoya Kanki (drums).

The band’s name, ONE OK ROCK, comes from “one o'clock,” the time that the band used to practice on weekends. They chose this time because the rehearsal space was cheaper at this time. However, since the Japanese language made no distinction between R’s and L’s, they changed “O'CLOCK” to “O'KROCK,” which was then separated to become “OK ROCK”.

The band was formed by Toru when he was in high school. At the time the band was formed (2005), they neither had Taka on vocals nor Tomoya on drums. Both were in other bands at the time, and ONE OK ROCK was born when Toru recruited them into his band.
