One Way Ticket

Background

On August 8, 2016, Taka went to Linkin Park's studio in Los Angeles^[1] after One Ok Rock had finished recording their new album. He played the entire album for the band and Mike Shinoda really liked a song called "One Way Ticket". Taka then suggested Mike could help with the production if he wanted and he enjoyed the idea.^[2]

"One Way Ticket" was included in One Ok Rock's eighth studio album, Ambitions, which was released in January 2017 both in Japanese and English versions, each with a different tracklisting. The song was produced by CJ Baran with Mike Shinoda credited for additional production.

Lyrics

Template:Collapse top

Remember that night
I had to leave you
You said it's alright
And I believed you
You know I'm no good
No good at goodbyes
No good without you
Better by your side

Wish I could be there with you
I'm feeling lost without you

In this empty bed
Where I'm all alone
I've been such a mess
Need a one way ticket

Anywhere you are
Is where I want to go
You are my address
I don't care how I get it
I need a one way ticket
Home

When you're not with me
These days are boring
Wish it were easy
Like Sunday morning
When I'd be waking up with you
Only doing those things we wanna do
My heart is anywhere you go
When I'm next to you I'm home

Wish I could be there with you
I'm feeling lost without you

In this empty bed
Where I'm all alone
I've been such a mess
Need a one way ticket

Anywhere you are
Is where I want to go
You are my address
I don't care how I get it
I need a one way ticket
Home

In this empty bed
Where I'm all alone
I've been such a mess

Sayonara wo ie ba kitto
Kimi ha boku wo wasurete shimau kara
Ushinaeba ni dome ha nai
Kidhui tan da

I don't care how I get it
I need a one way ticket
