Genesis Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tell me, baby, how's the other side?
Can I maybe steal you from the night?
And if it's an issue, I'll say I miss you
I'd rather not
I'd rather not
And if it's an issue that I wanna kiss you
I'd rather not
I'd rather not, no

[Pre-Chorus]
Birds and tigers, storm survivors
None were all here first
Underwater, son and daughter
Save the universe

[Chorus]
But I think I want you
For a thousand, for a thousand
And I think I've loved you (I think I've loved you)
For a thousand, for a thousand (A thousand years)

[Verse 2]
Tell me, baby, when they gave us life
Did they maybe crown me as your wife?
When you name the rain my brain the time took me apart
(I think they all know, I think they all know)
'Cause when your father clothed me, I was holy on your heart
I saw it all, I saw it all grow
[Pre-Chorus]
Birds and tigers, storm survivors
None were all here first
Underwater, son and daughter
Save the universe

[Chorus]
But I think I want you
For a thousand, for a thousand
And I think I've loved you
For a thousand, for a thousand
A thousand years, a thousand years
A thousand years

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
