It's been running through my mind, 
the minute you stepped in. 
And the hype that you create. 
That you create, that you create. 

So take me with you, I want to see color and life. 
In the corner of this bar, won't you take me by the hand? 
You don't realize how charming you are. 

Some million miles away they get ready to go out. 
But I want to stay in. 
Won't you stay with me? Or let me come with? 

So take me with you, I want to feel your body, you know. Laying in the sand, waiting for your man to come. But for now, you've got me.
So take me with you, I want to feel your body, you know. Laying in the sand, waiting for your man to come. But for now, you've got me.

Take Me With You

Rita, will you remember me tonight?
There's something in the morning light,
that tells me you will; yeah, you will. 
A hint of a familiar place and time,
I'm holding on to evening rhymes. 
So tell me you will, please do tell. 

Cause if I ever was wrong,
so were you. 

And all the times I sat by your door, 
and all the times I slept on your floor. 
And are you gonna push me aside? 
Or wont you think of me at night?

Rita

In the greyest room where we come alive,
and our phobias rest so we can spend the night.
Having conversations I wont even remember,
cus they seemed so smooth when we don't intend them.
To be as great as the movie you saw,
where a boy meets girl and they sleep in his yard.
and she gets up in a winter morning 
and wakes him up and he gets her a blanket.

I need to sleep,
I need to sleep.

In the hollow streets of dim lighted bricks,
where a charming man sits next to me,
and tells a story of joy and let down,
contempted liars and lucid breakdowns.
And it brings me back to when we came alive,
when we smoke and drank always by your side.
Driving aimlessly through haunting sidewalks,
With nothing to say but nothing to hide from.

Come to me you see my dreams of you are fading,
my heart for you is sinking.
Come to me you see my dreams of you are fading,
my heart for you is sinking.

look what we have become,
now the pleasure unknown
now its gone, forever gone.

Greyest Room

Shes got that smile.
A childish look in her eye.
A small part of her is mine.
At least for part of the time.

And now that she knows, 
its only for a while now.

Shes got the youth.
And I had nothing to loose.
I got a small part of the truth.
Now I feel like a fool.

And now that she knows, 
its only for a while now.

Shes got that smile.
A childish look in her eye.

We took our differences and threw them in the ocean, So they would drift away to future generations.
We took our trouble, we fought the struggle.

And maybe someday you wouldn't mind to try, 
the things we promised we would leave behind. 
Cause after all this time, haven't you realized? 

We were pretenders pretending our lives,
We were pretenders pretending our lies,
We were pretenders pretending our time, 
We were pretenders pretending to love.
 
And now we're settling for less than what we could have.

Pretenders

The Swifts is an indie rock based in Valencia, Spain. The band comprises singer and bassist Fredy Hove (Dk, 1991) and Javier Navarro (Sp. 1992) on guitar and backing vocals. They were later joined by drummer Álvaro Odeh (Sp, 1992) and lead guitarist Linden Nieto (Ge, 1996). They gained local attention by releasing singles on digital platforms throughout early 2012, which they would collect in their 2012 self-titled EP.
Formation.
After several years living in the US (Gainesville, FL; Madison, WI, San Francisco, CA), Navarro returned to hometown Valencia, where he’d attend ASV school. In an atmosphere where house and electronic music enjoyed it’s peak in Spain, Hove and Navarro found refuge in bands such as TV on the Radio, Girls or The Beatles, thus creating a strong between them and developing similar taste in music. The early meetings turned out to be productive writing sessions. Encouraged by Odeh’s ambitious nature, they founded Kolision (2006). After a few live shows in the local area and due to musical differences, Navarro left the band.
However, in 2010, Hove and Navarro, influenced by English teacher Scott Devore (who went on to become Emma Get Wild’s bassist), decided to pick up the project where they left off. They chose the band name after the author of a “Modest Proposal”, Jonathan Swift. The book had been assigned reading in English class earlier that year. Despite limited recording equipment, the new musical project managed to produce a few songs in Navarro’s attic. In spite of the positive feel of the project, the band took a 6-month break coinciding with Hove’s departure to study musical production for a year in Oure, Dk. After his return and catching Odeh’s attention, and therefore reuniting the initial Kolision line-up, The Swifts started recording new versions of the songs at the drummer’s place. Sporadically releasing homemade videos for the songs, the band was able to increase their local fan base and catch the attention of indie festival Arenal Sound.
The band added Linden Nieto to its line-up in early 2012. Short after they released their first official EP called "Painkiller, Sunseeker & Gum Culture"
