You better do it now
The things that I've heard you say
You want to do
Cuz I'm telling you
Time, time moves fast

I don't want to look back
And be that person
I don't want to feel like
I've wasted my life

What is it that I'm
I'm so afraid of?
Do I always take the easy way out?
Procrastination's flight
Winded as I'm trying
Tomorrow never come
If you don't make it happen
Don't you?
Don't you know?

I don't want to look back
And see that person
I don't want to feel like
I've wasted my life
What is it that I'm
I'm so afraid of?
Do I always take the easy way out?

It used to be so clear
All the things that i ever wanted
Where do my dreams go?
Don't know who I've become

I don't want to look back
And be that person
I don't want to know I
Missed the boat
Gotta take control
And review my choices
I'm hiding from myself for far too long

It's not too late
I don't want to be that missing person
I don't want to be the one who drowned
Gotta to face the facts
It's now or never
Can't get any worse
I have nothing to lose

I don't want to look back
And see that person
I don't want to wait till
It makes me ill
Life is more than I'm
Just going through the motions
Need to feel alive
Stop standing still

You better do it now
The things that I've heard you say
You want to do
Cuz I'm telling you
Time, time moves fast

Love it! One of my favorite songs to chill to...Jem's voice is Divine, to be sure, and the music is utterly intoxicating!

Another song from this album (featuring Esthero), "Too Rude," is also quite good.

EBTG = Tracy Thorne & Ben Watt
this = Jemma Griffiths & Carmen Rizzo

good comparison tho

Just realized I've been disappointed multiple times this morning after the first few notes of a song that it wasnt the Billie Eilish tune that Bill's been playing now and then.  Guess I like her sound a lot more than I'd realized.

Everything But The Girl?  This song mellowed out my she-cat, albeit momentarily!!

Nicely fits the mood I am in right now —> feeling the need for something smooth and mellow.

I guess I'm not the only one who tries to figure out who the artist is before looking at the screen. On hearing this one I thought that sounds like, ehm what's her name, Jem. And indeed it's Jem. I'm open to compliments. {#Angel}

I only saw "Carmen Rizzo" in Winamp and was about to ask why "she" sounds so much like Jem.

Thanks RP for not taking the easy way out.

that beepy bit makes me think of when i lived in the dorms at school and thru the paperthin walls you could hear someone's alarm clock incessantly beeping, and you know they're either not there or compeletely passed out, but good lord, if it doesn't stop beeping, i'm gonna break down that door... ah, memories! the rest of the song is quite nice tho. :)

Jem's voice is a perfect blend in this dreamy groove.

Love the album title - very evocative of lazy summer days of childhood.

Then everyone is SOL - this happened two years ago. Another Internet chestnut...

I think it's the simplicity that makes the song fantastic...rather delicate
This is very similar to Tina Dico's first solo album after her appearances with Zero 7. Very nice! (I am sure that if I buy this this it, like Tina Dico's CD, will stay embedded in the car's CD player for a solid month or two! LOL)

That explains why the Department Of Home Planet Security recently raised the Martian Attack Alert Level to "Severe".

hehe. Indeed. In fact, when I hear this I can mentally see those funky timelapse videos of passengers racing around an airport with the taxis pulling in and out of the loading/unloading (red zone white zone) bays.
