## Track Listing

### Previous

"**Genesis**" (common know as the Beginning) is a song by Dua Lipa. She performed it live at many of her live performances, and was released as the opening track to her debut album, Dua Lipa.

## Background

Genesis is the opening song to Dua Lipa’s self-titled record. The track employs Biblical references as a metaphor for a passionate love.

The album contains quite a few Biblical references in its narrative.

It was officially shared in her documentary “See In Blue” as an acoustic version that follows her musical journey leading up to the release of her debut album.

The song itself reflects on a Biblical reference to the beginning of the universe (otherwise known as Genesis). Dua Lipa has been able to use this to metaphor for tying back together her relationship with someone.

To elaborate, Dua Lipa is currently in a relationship where she has felt a lot of discomfort throughout most of the time, but, it is only now that she starts to think otherwise. Her lover, on the other hand, has been getting bored of the fact that she keeps running away and starts to doubt if she really loves him. But since this has been going on for so long, he thinks he is not good for her. Dua Lipa, however, tries to prove to him that she thinks otherwise and wants to go back to the way things were so that she can correct how she was behaving.

## Lyrics

In the beginning, God created Heaven and Earth

For what it's worth, I think that he might've created you first

Just my opinion, your body is the one paradise

That I wanna fly to every day and every night

I've been sick and tired of running

Chasing all of the flashing lights

These late nights don't mean nothing

So I just wanna apologize

I'm sorry, so sorry

I'm sorry, yeah

I need your love and I'm dying for the rush

'Cause my heart ain't got enough

I need your touch

This is getting serious

Tell me that it's not the end of us

How can we go back to the beginning?

How can we go back to the beginning?

Without you, I’ve got no air to breathe in

How can we go back to the beginning?

[Verse 2]

Don’t matter what’s written

We can start all over again, all over again

Oh, how can I get you all over my skin?

My deep intuition tells me that I'm doing you wrong

If I don't come home

Just say you forgive me and don't let me go

I've been sick and tired of running

Chasing all of the flashing lights

These late nights don't mean nothing

So I just wanna apologize

I'm sorry, so sorry

I'm sorry, yeah

I need your love and I'm dying for the rush

'Cause my heart ain't got enough

I need your touch

This is getting serious

Tell me that it's not the end of us

How can we go back to the beginning?

How can we go back to the beginning?

Without you, I’ve got no air to breathe in

How can we go back to the beginning?

You know, I roar like a lion

For you, you know I'll keep trying 'til the sun stops rising

I need your love and I'm dying for the rush

'Cause my heart ain't got enough

I need your touch

This is getting serious

Tell me that it's not the end of us

How can we go back to the beginning?

How can we go back to the beginning?

Without you, I’ve got no air to breathe in

How can we go back to the beginning?
