Rob (aka Rez) composes and records using mainly Reason, Pro Tools, and Ableton. He had an early start in production after building a studio in his basement to record his highchool bands. Rob has studied classical and jazz piano, rock and jazz guitar, and jazz drums and has been in many bands (genres spanning ska, metal, pop punk, jazz, funk, and alternative), playing both guitar and drums. Rob spent a few years in college DJing at different Boston bars while double majoring in Music and Philosophy at Tufts University.

Cal is a singer/rapper and songwriter from the New York City area. He’s been singing and freestyling since he was young and remembers doing freestyles at the dinner table. He graduated Tufts University majoring in Music and Entrepreneurship. Upon joining the band The Ride in his sophomore year at Tufts, Cal fell in love with the performance side of music. This blues, funk, and hip- hop band was noted for their unique style, given their ability to transcend musical genres. Cal later teamed up with The Ride’s drummer, Rob, to form Timeflies. Cal’s musical influences include Robert Johnson, Janis Joplin, Muddy Waters, and his favorite, Big L. Cal’s biggest strength and weakness, is his love for scotch.

Come on, put your body on mine
Whoa, whoa
So bad and you know
You turn heads as you go
Whoa, whoa
Whenever we get together it's like (hell yeah)
And, girl, if it ain't about you then I (don't care)
No, I don't care
And you know that you should
Take a chance with me tonight
I know you feel it, so do I
Girl, you got to know there are worse things
There's worse things than love
Lonely hearts can multiply
A world away from paradise
Girl, you got to know there are worse things
There's worse things than love
Oh oh oh oh (and all the people say)
Oh oh oh oh (and everybody say)
Oh oh oh oh
There's worse things, worse things than love
Them jeans, so tight
I wanna peel 'em off of your thighs
Whoa (they got me saying), whoa
She a freak, that's right
And we don't leave the sheets the whole night
Whoa (you got me saying), whoa
Whenever we get together it's like (hell yeah)
I'm feeling fresher than the Fresh Prince of (Bel-Air)
And, girl, if it ain't about you then I (don't care)
No, I don't care
And you know that you should
Take a chance with me tonight
I know you feel it, so do I
Girl, you got to know there are worse things
There's worse things than love
Lonely hearts can multiply
A world away from paradise
Girl, you got to know there are worse things
There's worse things than love
Oh oh oh oh (and all the people say)
Oh oh oh oh (and everybody say)
Oh oh oh oh
There's worse things, worse things than love
Oh oh oh oh (yeah)
Oh oh oh oh (yeah, come on, Timeflies)
There's worse things, there's worse things than love (Natalie La Rose)
Better off alone, well, what do we know?
We got a past that follows us wherever we go
If we ever find a way to check our own egos
We sit and talk with a couple bottles of the vino
Maybe say tonight when it's light, cappuccino
Maybe if it's right, I can buy a pair of stilettos
Maybe that'd be shit, we can go and see tho
Well all you need is love, boy, just go and ask the Beatles
Take a chance with me tonight
I know you feel it, so do I
Girl, you got to know there are worse things
There's worse things than love
Lonely hearts can multiply
A world away from paradise
Girl, you got to know there are worse things
There's worse things than love
Oh oh oh oh (yeah yeah)
Oh oh oh oh (you know)
Oh oh oh oh (you got to know there's worse things)
There's worse things than love
Oh oh oh oh (yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Oh oh oh oh (you know that people say)
Oh oh oh oh (you got to know, you got to know there's worse things)
There's worse things than love
The lyrics to Timeflies's song "Worse Things Than Love" is about a man trying to convince a woman to take a chance on him and explore what they have, despite the risks of getting hurt. The song starts with admiration for the woman's appearance, with the singer urging her to come closer to him. The lyrics describe them as a perfect match, with the man feeling like the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air whenever they’re together. The chorus emphasizes that even though there are risks associated with love, there are always much worse things than love that could happen.
The second verse is more about the physical attraction between the singer and the woman. The lyrics allude to their sexual chemistry, with the man feeling like he could spend the whole night with her. The bridge is sung by Natalie La Rose, who adds her voice to the track, describing how the two characters have a complicated history that follows them everywhere. She suggests that they can talk things out and take a chance together. The song concludes with the chorus again, which emphasizes that the risks of love are worth taking.
