OK

4MCs and "One"

So what you want, just one thing

So what you need, the style you chose

So what you want, just one thing

So what you need, yeah yeah

Another early morning as usual

Waking up from a dream feels like a lie

Car horns and noise everywhere

I don’t want this noisy drama

On nights like this, yeah, it’d be better to go far away

Close your eyes, and you’ll see it

Yeah, just do as you like

The buildings standing side by side are mismatched

Time ticks away, but sometimes there’s real love

I’m not lonely because you wrap me up, oh yes

After all, it doesn’t exist anywhere

There’s only one in this world, and you’re the only one in the world

Each has one life

Each chose their own style

Each has one life

One love, yeah yeah

Each has one life

Each chose their own style

Each has one life

One love, yeah yeah

A mermaid on land lives in solitude

Saying goodbye from the depths of the sea, she starts anew

A small fin as a gift for the fingers pointing behind

The momentum crescendos in my heart

Goodnight, it’s time to sleep now

The meaning of worrying until morning

Becomes useless faster than you think

Embraced by the times, I grow sleepy

Fighting spirit and numbness on both sides

Experiences carved into fine detail

For just one thing

Ending up going against my feelings

If I can run for myself

If I can protect it just for that

There’s only one of your world, and you’re the only one in the world

Each has one life

Each chose their own style

Each has one life

One love, yeah yeah

Each has one life

Each chose their own style

Each has one life

One love, yeah yeah

More than one, more than two

The more, the better

Laughing and crying

We’ll become one eventually

More than one, more than two

The more, the better

Laughing and crying

One love, yeah (×6)

On a sunny afternoon, that string and

Are you blaming? The passing clouds keep

Awakening, moving again

Avoiding the crowd, to a lone planet

Digging up the red will and

The meaning of the passing days

How many answers are there? Already

Without heart, now it’s clear

The strange one and the dry RAP SONG

Shake off the ties and wait

Beyond the glass, I realize

Let’s forget, open the windows wide

From tomorrow, clean paper again

Crumple it up and pay it back again

There’s only one in this world, and you’re the only one in the world

Each has one life

Each chose their own style

Each has one life

One love, yeah yeah

Each has one life

Each chose their own style

Each has one life

One love, yeah yeah

Each has one life

Each chose their own style

Each has one life

One love, yeah yeah

Each has one life

Each chose their own style

Each has one life

One love, yeah yeah
