Album information

“1,000 Hours” was written by Billie Joe about his best friend's sister, Jennifer, who he was romantically interested in. Jennifer didn't want to put up with a younger and inexperienced guy, and Billie Joe wrote about his experience in a song.

“Dry Ice” is a similar song. He is deeply in love with a girl, and keeps dreaming of her, but he doesn't know if she feels the same way. He writes this song as a "letter" to that girl, who he hopes will eventually read it.

“Only of You” is a song about love at first sight. The narrator loses sleep because of this person he is so infatuated with. He's only seen them once, but it was enough to cause these love-filled thoughts to take over him. They are only friends and he doesn't dare tell them his inside thoughts - all he can do is hope that this wonderful infatuation never ends.

“The One I Want” is most likely another song inspired by the author's feelings towards his best friend's sister. In this song he mentions that she already knows how he feels about her, and so he's wondering why they are still not together and finds no reasons - she made him feel this way, and now she's the only one that he wants. He believes that this love he feels towards this girl will never end.

The 1,000 Hours EP was included on the compilation album 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours, which includes Green Day's debut LP 39/Smooth, as well as their 1990 EP Slappy. It has also been back in print on vinyl since 2009, with the reissue of 39/Smooth on vinyl.
