1,000 Hours Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Starlit night, the moon is shining bright
You are the one that I need
Up at your window, I see a shadow

Silhouette of your grace

[Verse 2]
Here's this flower I picked for all the hours
That you've spent with me
The one I love, that I've been dreaming of
Sailing across the sea

[Chorus]
Let my hands flow through your hair
Moving closer, a kiss we'll share
Passionate love to be all night long
We'll never break, as one too strong

[Verse 3]
Nothing's more than what our love is for
As I kiss your cheek
Oh, so softly, hands flowing down my back
1,000 hours, I'll never leave

[Verse 4]
Our romance is a love trance
And now we'll never part

1,000 hours of such a love shower
We'll never stop once we start
[Chorus]
Let my hands flow through your hair
Moving closer, a kiss we'll share
Passionate love to be all night long
We'll never break, as one too strong

[Chorus]
Let my hands flow through your hair
Moving closer, a kiss we'll share
Passionate love to be all night long
We'll never break, as one too strong

[Guitar Solo]
Ahhh...

About

Genius Annotation

“1,000 Hours” is the first song on the 1,000 Hours EP, Green Day’s debut album. The song is supposedly about being overwhelmed by the enigmatic perceptions of love. When in a relationship, it seems as though all one wants to do is spend time with that their significant other, and when they’re not in your presence, you long for their return and dream about them and what you could do when you’re with them.
