For Dan and Jill, the hunt led them to one another. The duo turned 4 piece band are forging an exciting, dreamy electro-pop sound that is attracting listeners on both coasts. Less than 48 hours after releasing their debut single "Lost" it was played on University Of Pennsylvania's WXPN. Since then, the track has received blog acceptance by Pigeons and Planes, Indie Shuffle, The Burning Ear and Neon Gold. They are embarking on their first tour this spring supporting Capital Cities and are releasing their debut EP in early April.

Kiss Me Clean
Scavenger Hunt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't explain
I feel the moment
Crashing just like a wave
But it's salt in my wound
Still I can't find the trace
Burning pain in my chest
I've forgotten your face
And suddenly
Love comes and love goes
I'm speaking on their say
Your touch returns to me
Baby, kiss me clean
Love comes and love goes
Between my waking life and when I sleep
Oceans of pictures floating deep in my dreams
But I can't stop time
Like a love that won't stay
Like a song that you wrote
On my heart like a stain
Sometimes a melody sparks a memory
And suddenly
Love comes and love goes
I'm speaking on their say
Your touch returns to me
Baby, kiss me clean
Love comes and love goes
In my mind I still dive deep in the water
Wash all the years away
You and I together
Swimming (swimming)
Swimming (swimming)
Swimming (swimming)
(Please don't fade away, don't fade away)
Sometimes a melody sparks a memory
And suddenly
Love comes and love goes
I'm speaking on their say
Your touch returns to me
Baby, kiss me clean
Love comes and love goes
I don't want you to fade away
I don't want you to fade away
I don't want you to fade away
Fade away
I don't want you to fade away
I don't want you to fade away
I don't want you to fade away
Fade away
I don't want you to fade away
I don't want you to fade away
I don't want you to fade away
The lyrics to Scavenger Hunt’s song Kiss Me Clean tell the story of a person who is haunted by the memories of a past love. They cannot explain why they can’t forget this person, even though they know their love has come and gone. The pain of the past love is “salt in my wound,” but still, the singer cannot find any trace of the person they once loved. They remember the song that this person wrote on their heart like a “stain” that can’t be erased. The singer finds they are frequently reminded of this lost love when a particular melody is played, which triggers the memory of the past relationship.
Throughout the song, we hear the singer pleading with their lost love not to fade away. The lyrics suggest that the singer does not want to forget the person they love, even though that person has moved on. The chorus repeats the idea that love comes and goes, but the touch of the lost love returns, and they beg this person to “kiss me clean” and not to fade away.
The lyrics of Kiss Me Clean convey a sense of longing, pain, and unfulfilled desire. Although the relationship has ended, the singer still carries the strong emotions of the past love within them. The song feels like an attempt to hold on to the memory of that person and to find some sense of closure, even if the love itself cannot be rekindled.

Can't put my finger on it
I can't quite figure out what's going on
I can't explain
I don't have the words to describe it
I feel the moment
I sense something happening
Crashing just like a wave
It's overwhelming, like a sudden surge of water
But it's salt in my wound
It hurts me, even though it's something I want
Still I can't find the trace
I can't put my finger on what's causing this feeling
Burning pain in my chest
I feel an intense emotion that's almost physical
I've forgotten your face
I can't remember what you look like anymore
Sometimes a melody sparks a memory
Hearing a song can bring back memories
And suddenly
Out of the blue
Love comes and love goes
It's hard to hold onto love - it comes and goes
I'm speaking on their say
I'm relaying what others have told me
Your touch returns to me
I remember what it feels like to be touched by you
Baby, kiss me clean
Help me forget the past and start anew
Between my waking life and when I sleep
In the space between reality and dreams
Oceans of pictures floating deep in my dreams
My dreams are filled with memories and emotions
But I can't stop time
I can't go back in time and change what happened
Like a love that won't stay
Some loves are fleeting and can't be held onto
Like a song that you wrote
You have the power to make a lasting impression on me
On my heart like a stain
I can't forget the impact you've had on me
In my mind I still dive deep in the water
I still think about you a lot
Wash all the years away
I want to forget the past and move on
You and I together
I want us to be together again
Swimming
We're moving forward, despite the obstacles
(Please don't fade away, don't fade away)
I don't want to lose you again
I don't want you to fade away
I don't want to lose you
Fade away
Our connection disappearing
