Default were initially discovered by Chad Kroeger of Nickelback. Impressed by the band, Kroeger aided Default wherever possible by taking them on tours, co-writing songs, and producing material. Default have since progressively distanced themselves from Kroeger's influence over the years.
Default's hit single "Deny" was featured in the 2003 iteration of EA Sports' NHL video game series which help them gain even further exposure. Having already amassed an adequate fan base and frequent radio airplay in their native Canada, they managed to gain popularity in the United States for their hit singles "Wasting My Time" and "Deny" from their first album The Fallout. Default's first and second albums were produced with the help of Chad Kroeger, who would later reduce his involvement by only co-writing one song for their third album "One Thing Remains". Despite the significant success of the singles from The Fallout, Their follow-up albums Elocation and One Thing Remains failed to gain the same amount of popularity and radio airplay in the United States as their debut. Elocation was mostly successful for their hit single "(Taking My) Life Away" which was played extensively on the radio and television in Canada. Their second single from "Elocation" was "Throw It All Away", which was then followed by "All She Wrote". The single "Count On Me" from their third album One Thing Remains was a hit on Canadian radio before the album was even released. The Band also had their song "The Memory Will Never Die" featured on WWE's Wrestlemania.
Default's fourth album, which was originally planned to be released in 2007, had suffered significant delays and setbacks due to issues with their record label TVT, which eventually went bankrupt and was sold to an independent label known as The Orchard. Back on a new label, Default's fourth album "Comes and Goes" to be released in September 2009 via EMI Canada Records, with the first single being "All Over Me".

Default Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All she has to give
She lets me know
It's just one kiss
She plays the game
Like no one else
She won
Yeah, she won
I've never felt like this before
Can't get enough
I want more
She steals the life
Right out of me
She's gone
Now, she's gone
Look she's running
While I'm drowning
Don't save me
If I'm wading
(chorus)
Her love comes and goes
Before you know it
Just like a fire
She'll leave you helpless
She lifts you up
And let you down
Her love comes and goes away
It hurts so bad
That I can't sleep
I tell myself
She still wants me
She leaves me here
All by myself
Alone, all alone
Look she's running
While I'm drowning
Don't save me
If I'm wading
Her love comes and goes
Before you know it
Just like a fire
She'll leave you helpless
She lifts you up
And let you down
Her love comes and goes away
(comes and goes away)
I want the life I had
Before I knew you
I wish I knew a way
To turn back time
If only you would stay
Another world away
The maybe I could find
Someone not like you
Not like you
Her love comes and goes
Before you know it
Just like a fire
She'll leave you helpless
She lifts you up
And let you down
Her love comes and goes away
She always
Comes and goes away
She always
Comes and goes away
The lyrics of Default's song "Comes and Goes" is about a tumultuous and unpredictable relationship. The singer reflects on the roller coaster ride that the girl he loves takes him on. She is intense, giving him everything she has to give, but then suddenly disappears from his life. He still wants her despite the pain she has caused him, and feels helpless without her. He wishes he could turn back time to the life he had before he knew her. The chorus sums up the cycle of their relationship, with her love coming and going unpredictably.
The song captures the complexity of relationships and the emotional highs and lows that come with them. It explores the idea that sometimes love can be intense and passionate, but fleeting and unpredictable. The lyrics suggest that the singer is addicted to the feelings that this girl gives him, and he can't let go of the hope that she might come back to him.
Interestingly, the music video for "Comes and Goes" features the band playing on a barren landscape while the story of a man and a woman's complicated relationship unfolds in a series of flashbacks. The video is in black and white, creating a moody and introspective tone that reinforces the lyrics' emotion and reflection.

She gives me
She shares with me
All she has to give
Everything she has to offer
She lets me know
She communicates clearly to me
It's just one kiss
That's all it takes to express her feelings
She plays the game
She approaches love like a skilled competitor
Like no one else
More effectively than anyone else
She won
She emerged victorious in the game of love
I've never felt like this before
This is a new and intense experience for me
Can't get enough
I'm addicted to it
I want more
I crave for a larger share of it
She steals the life
She drains my life force
Right out of me
Directly from within me
She's gone
She left without a trace
Now, she's gone
I am currently living without her presence
Look she's running
She's leaving in a hurry
While I'm drowning
I'm being engulfed by my feelings for her
Don't save me
I don't want to be rescued from my current state of mind
If I'm wading
If I'm treading water all alone
Her love comes and goes
Her feelings towards me fluctuate constantly
Before you know it
It changes before I can grasp it
Just like a fire
Unpredictable, hot, and highly dangerous
She'll leave you helpless
I will be without control
She lifts you up
She raises my spirit and makes me feel alive
And let you down
Only to suddenly bring me down again
Her love comes and goes away
Her feelings run away from me
It hurts so bad
It's very painful for me
That I can't sleep
I am so disturbed that I can't even rest
I tell myself
I try to convince myself
She still wants me
That she still has desire for me
She leaves me here
She left me stranded here
All by myself
I am alone
Alone, all alone
I am completely isolated
Her love comes and goes away
Her feelings are fleeting
I want the life I had
I long for my previous life without her
Before I knew you
Before I had experienced that addictive love
I wish I knew a way
I desire to find a solution
To turn back time
To travel back and correct things
If only you would stay
I wish she could preserve the status quo
Another world away
In a place distant from my feelings
The maybe I could find
And then, it's possible that I'll find
Someone not like you
Someone completely different from her
Not like you
Not having her unpredictable nature and hot passion
She always
She will do this perpetually
Comes and goes away
Appears and goes just like that
She always
She always
Comes and goes away
Leaves without notice

DEFAULT (2009) – COMES AND GOES (Traducción)
She gives me all she has to give
Ella me da todo lo que tiene para dar
She lets me know it's just one kiss
Me avisa de que sólo es un beso
She plays the game like no one else
Conoce las reglas del juego como nadie
She won, yeah she won
Ganó, sÃ, ganó
I never felt like this before
Nunca me sentà asà antes
Can't get enough, I want more
No me canso, quiero más
She steals the life right out me
Me roba directamente la vida
She's gone, now she's gone
Ella se ha ido, ahora se ha ido
Look she's running while I'm drowning
Mira, corre, mientras yo me ahogo
Don't save me if I'm waiting
No me salves si estoy esperando
Her love comes and goes
Su amor viene y va
Before you know it
Antes de que te des cuenta
Just like a fire
Igual que el fuego
She'll leave you helpless
Te dejará impotente
She lifts you up
Te alienta
And lets you down
Y te desanima
Her love
Su amor
Comes and goes away
Viene y va
It hurts so bad that I can't sleep
Duele tantÃsimo que no puedo dormir
I tell myself she still wants me
Me digo que todavÃa me quiere
She leaves me here all by myself
Me deja aquà solo
Alone, all alone
Solo, totalmente solo
Look she's running while I'm drowning
Mira, corre, mientras yo me ahogo
She'll save me if I'm waiting
No me salves si estoy esperando
Her love comes and goes
Su amor viene y va
Before you know it
Antes de que te des cuenta
Just like a fire
Igual que el fuego
She'll leave you helpless
Te dejará impotente
She lifts you up
Te alienta
And lets you down
Y te desanima
Her love
Su amor
Comes and goes away
Viene y va
I want the life I had before I knew you
Quiero la vida que tenÃa antes de conocerte
I wish I knew a way to turn back time
Ojalá conociera una manera de volver atrás en el tiempo
If only you would stay
Si tan sólo te quedaras
Another world away
A un mundo de distancia
Then maybe I could find
Entonces quizás encontrarÃa
Someone not like you
Alguien que no fuera como tú
Not like you
No como tú
Her love comes and goes
Su amor viene y va
Before you know it
Antes de que te des cuenta
Just like a fire
Igual que el fuego
She'll leave you helpless
Te dejará impotente
She lifts you up
Te alienta
And lets you down
Y te desanima
Her love
Su amor
Comes and goes away
Viene y va
She always
Ella siempre
Comes and goes away
Viene y va
She always
Ella siempre
Comes and goes away
Viene y va
