Lyrics:

Give me just a second to breathe
I was on my knees
And now I can fly
You gave me a second for free
A second wind
A second life
I was on the edge, I was on the edge
Underneath the sea, couldn't take a breath
I was 'bout to leave, couldn't face another day
I was on the edge, I was on the edge
Didn't wanna be, didn't wanna care
Didn't wanna see until I saw your face
The beat switched up at once
Sweet melodies and sun
Got on my feet, feet started walkin then started to run

Kickstart
Went straight to my heart
Was 'bout to go dark
And now I might live again
Kickstart
Went straight to my heart
You gave me that spark
And now I might live again

I was knocked out when you came my way
Couldn't see myself livin one more day
But everythin changed when I saw your face
Those lips, those eyes, those hips, that waist
And I suddenly saw the future before me
The house, the kids, the couch, the TV
Watchin reruns of cartoons on Disney
And I know it's basic but it's all I need, yeah
Electric feel when we're touchin
I don't deserve all your lovin
You made me somethin from nothin
I was flatlining but now I'm buzzin
You made me clear
Defibrillator
Breath of fresh air
You're my inhaler
You turned goodbye
Into see you later
Cause when you showed up, yeah
The beat switched up at once
Sweet melodies and sun
Got on my feet, feet started walkin then started to run

Kickstart
Went straight to my heart
Was 'bout to go dark
And now I might live again
Kickstart
Went straight to my heart
You gave me that spark
And now I might live again
Kickstart
Went straight to my heart
Was 'bout to go dark
And now I might live again
Kickstart
Went straight to my heart
You gave me that spark
And now I might live again

Kick Start

We're a brand new duo making disco/funk/soul/RnB/synthpop inspired pop anthems (occasionally beverage themed). We first met at university but it wasn't until 10 years later that a random online collaboration led to what would later become our debut single 'Kick Start'. From there we started a band and got to work refining the recipe, mixing tasty bass notes, tangy harmonies and syrupy vocals, before adding some invigorating fizz for delicious and refreshing pop we hope everyone will enjoy.

Our influences include Dua Lipa, Doja Cat, Calvin Harris, Tame Impala, MGMT, Anderson .Paak, Kendrick Lamar and many more.
