[Intro]
G-g-g-got to the sun and pass the stars
D-d-d-down to the moon and heading to Mars

[Verse 1]
Smells like burning
Now I’m out of orbit
Watch the turning
In my head you’re saying good bye
Good bye
Good bye
Good bye

[Chorus]
I can’t just stay, I can't just stay
Take a breath and you can see it’s so real
I can’t just stay, I can't just stay
Take a breath and you can see it’s so real

[Verse 2]
Up to Cygnus
It looks smaller than I thought
See that signal
The fuel is running out
Good night
Good night
Good night
Good night

[Chorus]
I can’t just stay, I can't just stay
Take a breath and you can see it’s so real
I can’t just stay, I can't just stay
Take a breath and you can see it’s so real

[Instrumental Solo]

[Chorus]
I can’t just stay, I can't just stay
Take a breath and you can see it’s so real
I can’t just stay, I can't just stay
Take a breath and you can see it’s so real

I can’t just stay (How are you doing today?), I can't just stay
(I am calling NA)
Oh (What are you up to today? I am running away)
I can’t just stay (How are you doing today?), I can't just stay
(I am calling NA)
Take a breath and you can see it’s so real

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.
