The accompanying video premiered on Channel 4 on 23 July 2009, was shot in Ibiza, and directed by Chris Cottam. The song has been used in more movies and TV shows than any other single the band released.

"Kiss of Life" has had more exposure to the public than their previous singles, making it one of Friendly Fires' more popular releases. more »

Rub that line out of the sand
I can see you closer
Closer than you'll ever be
Rub that line above the sand
I know you think it's over
Staring out into the sea

Don't let go, this could be so perfect
Don't let go, if we hold onto it

Rub that line above the sand
Right before the tide comes
Washes you away from me

Oh, kiss of life
Oh, kiss of life

Could you wave goodbye to sun?
The sea, the stars, the waves, the tide?
The wails inside, that life has died.
But all you need is a kiss of life

Rub that line out of the sky
I can feel the night crawl
A broken drum and tambourine
Rub that line out of the sky
I can see the clouds form
Taking shape in front of me

Don't let go, this could be so easy
Don't let go, if you hold on to me

Rub that line out of the sky
Right before the sun falls

Kiss of life

Oh, kiss of life
Oh, kiss of life

Could you wave goodbye to sun?
The sea, the stars, the waves, the tide?
The wails inside, that life has died
But all you need is a kiss of life

Could you wave goodbye to sun?
The sea, the stars, the waves, the tide?
The wails inside, that life has died
But all you need is a kiss of life

Oh, kiss of life
Oh, kiss of life

A thousand butterflies, from your lips to mine
A thousand butterflies, from your lips to mine
A thousand butterflies, from your lips to mine
A thousand butterflies, from your lips to mine

Kiss of life
