In 2002, the group signed with Flicker Records, which is owned by members of Audio Adrenaline, and changed their name to The Swift. They released their self-titled album later that year.
After a debut that brought them moderate success, The Swift then released their second album entitled Today. Early 2004 brought about a line-up change. Guitarist Chris Byers decided to leave the band and was replaced by Justin Sharbono (formerly of Superchic[k] fame).
After only seven months with the band, guitarist Sharbono left the band to pursue other interests. In order to fill the void, the band decided to reach back into their hometown and added guitarist Matt Wilder (also from Zaccheus Tree) to the roster in December, 2004. Drummer Trae Drose announced his decision to leave the band in May of 2006. He was replaced by Guy Lemon. The band released an independent worship EP before leaving Flicker Records to sign with Michael W. Smith's Rocket Town Records. A new album is scheduled for release in October of 2006.
Come on
The Swift Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You found a room to rent
And ashed your cigarette
I guess it's time to quit
They all say it's time to quit
Heard it from everyone you met
So you
Lookin' for time to rest
An' lookin' so upset
Thought what a mess this is
Every party ends like this
So long
Your friends have come and gone
It's just the road you're on
Your friends have come and gone
Your friends have come and gone
But you
Caught talkin' to yourself
About your mental health
The books upon your shelf
Have lives amongst themselves
Gettin' back home, in bed by twelve
So long
Your friends have come and gone
It's just the road you're on
Your friends have come and gone
It's just the road you're on
Your friends have come and gone
Your friends have come and gone
So long
Your friends have come and gone
It's just the road you're on
Your friends have come and gone
Your friends have come and gone
