Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Time stands still

When you feel like I feel

I forget where I was goin'

But I know who I'ma go with, it's you

[Verse 2]

We're in motion, and I'm emotional, and I'm all over you

So whatchu wanna do?

[Verse 3]

Oh, if you don't mind

Closing your eyes

Just give me your time

'Cause you've got all mine

[Verse 4]

We've got one life

I won't waste it, one life

I'm gon' taste the joy in every minute

Beginnin' till the finish

We've got one life

Get lost together, one life

We'll go wherever, till the ride is over

Everywhere and nowhere, we'll go...

[Verse 5]

Where we'll go

We don't know

Everywhere and nowhere, we'll go...

Where we'll go

We don't know

Let's go everywhere and nowhere

[Verse 6]

Days turn night

Let's bathe in the moonlight

Dance around the stars

Maybe go too far

[Verse 7]

Sensational

No particular place to go

Feeling insatiable

Like even outer space could be attainable

[Verse 8]

But if you don't mind

We'll let our love fly

Just give me your time

'Cause you've got all mine

[Verse 9]

We've got one life

I won't waste it, one life

I'm gon' taste the joy in every minute

Beginnin' till the finish

We've got one life

Get lost together, one life

We'll go wherever, till the ride is over

Everywhere and nowhere, we'll go...

[Verse 10]

Where we'll go

We don't know

Everywhere and nowhere, we'll go...

Where we'll go

We don't know

Let's go everywhere and nowhere

[Verse 11]

I wanna take you everywhere and maybe nowhere (Let's go out tonight)

I wanna take you (Go out tonight)

I wanna take you there (Yeah)

I wanna take you everywhere and maybe nowhere (Let's go out tonight)

I wanna take you (Go out tonight)

I wanna take you there

[Verse 12]

Ooh, if you don't mind

We'll let our love fly

Just give me your time

'Cause you've got all mine

[Verse 13]

We've got one life

I won't waste it, one life

I'm gon' taste the joy in every minute

Beginnin' till the finish

We've got one life

Get lost together, one life

We'll go wherever, till the ride is over

Everywhere and nowhere, we'll go...

[Verse 14]

Where we'll go

We don't know (Come on)

Let's go everywhere and nowhere, go-go-go, yeah-yeah

Where we'll go

We don't know

Let's go everywhere and nowhere

[Verse 15]

One life
