About This Track

Example navigates the push-and-pull of a relationship that keeps threatening to collapse but never quite does. He holds his partner's hand loosely, makes excuses to avoid difficult conversations, yet the moment he imagines life without them, the love restarts. The song captures that cycle of complacency and sudden clarity, where taking someone for granted becomes the only way to realise how much they matter. Sub Focus produces with a crisp electropop touch, building the track around a hook that lands with real force. The production gives the lyrical uncertainty a propulsive backbone, turning what could be a slow-burn confession into something that moves with purpose and momentum.

"Kickstarts" is a single by Example, from the album Won’t Go Quietly, released 19th June 2010. The track is 3:02 long. It's filed under Dance. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Kickstarts

You want me to come over I got an excuse
Might be holding your hand, but I'm holding it loose
Go to talk then we choke its like our necks in a noose
Avoid the obvious we should be facing the truth

Start to think it could be fizzling out
Kinda shocked because I never really had any doubts
Look into your eyes imagine life with out ya

And the love kick starts again
Starts again

And the Love kick starts again
Starts again

It's the same old you the same old me
You get bored and I get cold feet
Get high get wandering eyes
Forget I've never ever had it so sweet
I realize what I got when I'm out of town
Cause deep down you're my girl in a golden crown
My princess and I don't wanna let you down
No, I don't wanna let you down, down, down, down

You want me to come over I got an excuse
Might be holding your hand but I'm holding it loose
Go to talk then we choke it's like our necks in a noose
Avoid the obvious we should be facing the truth

Start to think it could be fizzling out
Kinda shocked because I never really had any doubts
Look into your eyes imagine life with out ya

Kick starts again

Start to think it could be fizzling out
Kinda shocked because I never really had any doubts
Look into your eyes imagine life with out ya
Imagine life with out ya
Imagine life with out ya
Imagine life with out ya

And the love kick starts again
Starts again

And the love kick starts again
Starts again

Kick kick starts

It's the same old you the same old me
You get bored and I get cold feet
Get high get wandering eyes
Forget I've never ever had it so sweet
I realize what I got when I'm out of town
Cause deep down you're my girl in a golden crown
My princess and I don't wanna let you down

Kick kick starts

Start to think it could be fizzling out
Kinda shocked because I never really had any doubts
Look into your eyes imagine life with out ya

And the love kick starts again
