Don't know what it means to me
I only know I'm going too fast
Yes I, I'm on the edge of my seat
Yes I, I'm on the edge of my seat
I only know I'm going too fast
See the lights change across the way
How can you be, for it's not the same
Right now
Right now
Right now
Right now
Right now I'm on the edge of my seat
I know what it means to me
I know that I need to go faster
Yes Sir, this is my chance to be
Yes Sir, this is my chance to be
I know that I need to go faster
See the lights change across the way
How can you be, for it's not the same
Today
Right now
Right now
Right now
Right now
Hey now, I'm on the edge of my feet
And I can't say I thought you'd be but
I always thought you're on my own
Right now, I'm on the edge of my feet and I
Hey now, I'm one the edge of my feet
I always got there on my own
Now come on
Come on
Now come on
Come on
Now come on
Come on
Come on
Right now
Right now
Right now

"Come On" by Sunflower Bean is a fast-paced, upbeat track with impactful and straightforward lyrics. The singer opens by saying, "Right now I'm on the edge of my seat. Don't know what it means to me. I only know I'm going too fast." She is nervously on the verge of something new and is unsure of what it will bring, but she knows she is going too fast for it. She continues, "See the lights change across the way. How can you be, for it's not the same today?" She is perhaps seeing something new happening around her that she wants to be a part of.
As the song progresses, the singer becomes more confident, repeating, "Yes Sir, this is my chance to be. I know that I need to go faster." She is determined to seize the opportunity in front of her, whatever it may be. As the chorus repeats, she asks, "Now come on, come on. Right now, right now, right now." She is urging herself to take action, to take the next step, to embrace the opportunity in front of her.
Overall, the song is about seizing opportunities and taking chances. It's about being on the cusp of something new and exciting, but also uncertain and potentially scary. The singer is reminding herself to take action and not let fear hold her back.

If Grimes, Bob Dylan and Kevin Parker decided to form a band; heck am I not complaining. This was pure gold.

Why does each band member look like such a mix of so many other musicians? I havent seen this happen in a band before. Its like someone took the blood from a bunch of different musicians and put them into clay dolls and performed some magic and created these wonderful human beings.
