One Thing
One Direction (Acoustic) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
In One Direction's "One Thing," the singer is confessing his love for someone, admitting that they have that "one thing" he can't resist. He tries to be cool around them, but always finds himself nervous and unable to "be brave" in their presence because they make his heart race. The person is compared to kryptonite, a reference to Superman's weakness, and the singer feels weak and frozen in their presence.
The singer is desperate for the person to notice them and acknowledge their feelings, as they feel like they're going "out of their mind" thinking about them all the time. They plead for the person to "get out of [their] head" and "fall into [their] arms instead," still not sure what it is exactly that draws them to this person, but certain that they need that "one thing" they possess.
Overall, the lyrics capture the intense emotions and uncertainty of young love. The singer is infatuated with someone and willing to do whatever it takes to be with them, even if it means admitting his vulnerability and potentially facing rejection.

I've tried playing it cool
I attempted to act indifferent
But when I'm looking at you
When I gaze upon you
I can’t ever be brave
I cannot conjure the courage
'Cause you make my heart race
As you cause my heart to beat fast
Shot me out of the sky
You stunned me unexpectedly
You're my kryptonite
You overpower me aggressively
You keep making me weak
You continue to lessen my strength
Yeah, frozen and can't breathe
Completely paralyzed with shortness of breath
Something’s gotta give now
There must be a change
'Cause I’m dying just to make you see
As I yearn for you to notice me
That I need you here with me now
That I require your presence immediately
'Cause you've got that one thing
As you possess the quality I crave for
So get out, get out, get out of my head
Leave my thoughts, depart from it all
And fall into my arms instead
And rest within my embrace
I don't, I don't, don't know what it is
I am unaware and uncertain of what it is
But I need that one thing
However, I must have this one thing
Now I'm climbing the walls
Currently, I feel restless and trapped
But you don't notice at all
But you remain oblivious to it all
That I'm going out of my mind
As I become extremely agitated and irrational
All day and all night
Continuously, throughout the day and night
'Cause I'm dying just to know your name
As I yearn to be informed of your identity
And I need you here with me now
Immediately, I require your presence
'Cause you've got that one thing
As you possess the quality I long for
And come on, come into my life
Enter my existence, join me
You've got that one thing
You possess the trait I crave for

💍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

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...
