[Hook]
How did you know?
There’s a place that you could call home
But just addicted to the memory of
And now I know what you didn’t know then
Right by your side

[Verse 1]
A blinding light the rising tide
Feel so alive
Would you be better living this life?

[Verse 2]
Too many scars
Too many fears
You have to carry on
’cause I know it’s still not enough

[Hook]
How did you know?
There’s a place that you could call home
But just addicted to the memory of
And now I know what you didn’t know then
Right by your side

How did you know?
There’s a place that you could call home
But it’s a point of view you can’t give up
And now I am what you couldn’t be then
Right by your side

[Verse 4]
The time is up It’s over now
Nowhere to hide
You have to make it through the night
No matter what It’s not enough
You have to carry on
’cause close is still not close enough

[Hook]
How did you know?
There’s a place that you could call home
But just addicted to the memory of
And now I know what you didn’t know then
Right by your side

How did you know?
There’s a place that you could call home
But it’s a point of view you can’t give up
And now I am what you couldn’t be then
Right by your side

[Verse 5 x2]
It’s easy
Caught up in little lies
Believe me
I’m gonna realize

[Verse 6]
Kuyashisa majiri kotoba wo haita
Tsunagu kotoba wa wakasugite
Koeru beki wa sou itsudatte
Jibun jishin igai ni inai Oh

[Hook in Japanese]
Kimi ga kakaeta sono zetsubou
Moerutsukiru made sakebeba ii
Kaeru basho nara itsudatte
Right by your side

[Outro]
It’s easy
(Did you know there’s a place that you could call home?)
I am still addicted to the memory of
Believe me
(Did you know there’s a place that you could call home?)
So, I can find it with my eyes

It’s easy
(Did you know there’s a place that you could call home?)
But it’s a point of view I can’t give up
How did I know?
I’m gonna realize

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.
