One Thing
One Direction(원 디렉션) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've tried playing it cool
But when I'm looking at you
I can’t ever be brave
'Cause you make my heart race

Shot me out of the sky
You're my kryptonite
You keep making me weak
Yeah, frozen and can't breathe

Something’s gotta give now
'Cause I’m dying just to make you see
That I need you here with me now
'Cause you've got that one thing

So get out, get out, get out of my head
And fall into my arms instead
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
But I need that one thing
And you've got that one thing

Now I'm climbing the walls
But you don't notice at all
That I'm going out of my mind
All day and all night

Something’s gotta give now
'Cause I'm dying just to know your name
And I need you here with me now
'Cause you've got that one thing

So get out, get out, get out of my head
And fall into my arms instead
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
But I need that one thing

So get out, get out, get out of my mind
And come on, come into my life
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
But I need that one thing
And you've got that one thing

You've got that one thing

Get out, get out, get out of my head
And fall into my arms instead

So get out, get out, get out of my head
And fall into my arms instead
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
But I need that one thing

So get out, get out, get out of my mind
And come on, come into my life
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is




But I need that one thing
And you've got that one thing

Overall Meaning

"One Thing" by One Direction is a song that encapsulates the feeling of falling in love with someone so deeply that it becomes impossible to hide your emotions. The first verse begins with the singer trying to play it cool and keep their feelings hidden but finds it impossible when looking at the person they admire. The chorus goes on to describe the intense feelings they have, comparing the person to their weakness, or kryptonite, and claiming they can't breathe when they're around. The singer then expresses their desire for the person, insisting that they need to be with them and that they have that "one thing" that they can't live without.


The second verse describes the singer's growing desperation, feeling like they're losing their mind over this person. They express their frustration that the person doesn't seem to notice how they're feeling, and they're dying just to know their name. The chorus repeats the imagery of needing the person like oxygen and asks for them to come into their life.


Overall, "One Thing" is a catchy and relatable song that captures the vulnerability and intensity of falling in love. It's about taking a chance and letting your feelings be known, even if it means putting yourself out there and risking heartbreak.


Line by Line Meaning

I've tried playing it cool
I attempted to appear nonchalant


But when I'm looking at you
However, as soon as I lay eyes on you


I can’t ever be brave
I lose all courage


'Cause you make my heart race
Because you make my heartbeat accelerate


Shot me out of the sky
You came into my life unexpectedly and immediately caught my attention


You're my kryptonite
You have the power to make me vulnerable


You keep making me weak
You continuously impair my emotional strength


Yeah, frozen and can't breathe
As a result, I feel paralyzed and breathless


Something’s gotta give now
This situation cannot continue without change


'Cause I’m dying just to make you see
Because I am desperate for you to realize


That I need you here with me now
That I require your presence beside me at this very moment


'Cause you've got that one thing
Because you possess that indescribable quality that draws me towards you


So get out, get out, get out of my head
Leave my thoughts and emotions behind


And fall into my arms instead
Come to me and embrace me


I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
I cannot explain what this feeling is


But I need that one thing
But I am certain that I require that particular quality you embody


Now I'm climbing the walls
Now I am feeling restless and agitated


But you don't notice at all
But you seem completely unaware of this fact


That I'm going out of my mind
That I am losing my grip on sanity


All day and all night
Throughout the day and night


Cause I'm dying just to know your name
Because I desperately want to learn your name


So get out, get out, get out of my mind
Leave my thoughts and emotions behind


And come on, come into my life
And enter my life


And you've got that one thing
And you possess that indefinable quality that captivates me

💍One Thing💍
 (前半和訳)


I’ve tried playing it cool
🩵クールな自分を演じてきた

But when I’m looking at you
🩵でも君を見ていると

I can never be brave
🩵少し臆病になってしまうんだ

Cause you make my heart race
🩵だって心臓が暴れ回るから

Shot me out of the sky
🩵あの広がる空に飛ばしてよ

You’re my kryptonite
🩵君といると僕の無力さに気づく

You keep making me weak
🩵僕の弱点は君なんだよ

Yeah, frozen and can’t breathe
🩵凍りついて息ができなくなる

Some things gotta get loud
🩵なんとかしなくちゃいけない

Cause if not, they just don’t make you see
🩵君だけにはわかってもらいたいから

That I need you here with me now
🩵今ここに僕の横にいてほしいのは君なんだよ

Course you’ve got that one thing
🩵かけがえのないものを君は持ってるから

So get out, get out, get out of my head
🩵君が僕の頭の中から出て

And fall into my arms instead
🩵腕の中に落ちてくれたら良いのに

I don’t,I don’t, don’t know what it is
🩵何かはわからない

But I need that one thing
🩵けど僕はそれがほしいんだ

And you’ve got that one thing
🩵そして君はその特別なものを持っている



@jimmy_3305

Harry had his curls
Louis wasn’t a dad
Liam had his buzz cut
Niall had blonde hair
Zayn was still had no tattos
One Direction was One Direction



The good times...
