[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
We're in motion, and I’m emotional, and I'm all over you
So whatchu wanna do?

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, if you don't mind
Closing your eyes
Just give me your time
'Cause you've got all mine

[Chorus]
We've got one life
I won't waste it, one life
I'm gon’ taste the joy in every minute
Beginnin’ 'til the finish
We’ve got one life
Get lost together, one life
We'll go wherever, 'til the ride is over
Everywhere and nowhere, we'll go

[Post-Chorus]
Where we’ll go
We don't know
Everywhere and nowhere, we'll go
Where we'll go
We don't know

[Verse 2]
Let's go everywhere and nowhere
Days turn night
Let's bathe in the moonlight
Dance around the stars
Maybe go too far
Sensational
No particular place to go
Feeling insatiable
Like even outer space could be attainable

[Pre-Chorus]
But if you don't mind
We'll let our love fly
Just give me your time
'Cause you've got all mine

[Chorus]
We've got one life
I won't waste it, one life
I'm gon' taste the joy in every minute
Beginnin' 'til the finish
We've got one life
Get lost together, one life
We'll go wherever, 'til the ride is over
Everywhere and nowhere, we'll go

[Post-Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, if you don't mind
We'll let our love fly
Just give me your time
'Cause you've got all mine

[Chorus]
We've got one life
I won't waste it, one life
I'm gon' taste the joy in every minute
Beginnin' 'til the finish
We've got one life
Get lost together, one life
We'll go wherever, 'til the ride is over
Everywhere and nowhere, we'll go

[Outro]
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
One life

John Legend was born in 1978 in Ohio. He became an in-demand session musician and songwriter, working with such artists as Alicia Keys, Twista and Janet Jackson. He was soon introduced to up-and-coming hip-hop artist Kanye West, and the two musicians collaborated on one another’s demos.

J. Ivy claims credit for bestowing the “Legend” moniker upon John Stephens (with an assist from Kanye West). Via

Kanye was like, ‘Have you heard of this singer called John Stephens?’ He played me this song from him, that I think will.i.am produced. It was so refreshing and soulful. An hour later, John Stephens comes into the studio. I told him, ‘I heard your music. It’s so amazing. It sounds old school. Man, you sound like one of the legends. You’re a legend. Matter of fact, that’s what I am going to call you from now The Legend. A couple days later, we were in the lounge of the studio (Record Plant) and John Stephens walks in and everyone shouts him out. I was like, ‘John Legend!’ Kanye then said, ‘You’re John Legend from now on. That’s your name!’”
