Euphoria

Usher · Looking 4 Myself [2012]

We in a dodging to a feeling I don't wanna know

Yeah I been running but it caught me somehow

The room was never falling off I did it anyway

You made my heart beat and pumping

Why it ain't turn it up so loud



Cause if I don't feel the water

And the night don't feel the thief

It's just you and me together

Here we are, we are, we are, we are



Here we are, we are, we found euphoria!



[Beat break]



Here we are, we are, we are, we are

And you're going from inside

Like the dot is in a write

I'm just here for the first time

Here we are, we are, we found euphoria!



I already know the way and thought I could get in and out

She say relax, you gon be here for a while

But I took caution to the way and did it anyway

And the truth is I'm learning to loving

And I ain't gonna turn it down



Cause if I don't feel the water

And the night don't feel the thief

Once the music sets you over

Here we are, we are, we are, we are



Here we are, we are, we are

And you're going from inside

Like the dot is in a write

I'm just here for the first time

Here we are, we are, we found euphoria!



[Beat break]



Here we are, we are, we are



Here we are, we are, we found euphoria!



[Beat break]



And you're going from inside

Like the dot is in a write

I'm just here for the first time

Here we are, we are, we found euphoria!
