Set Me Off

from Guest House by PAWL

/
  • Streaming + Download

    Piano/Rhodes driven indie pop; with guitars, violins, and driving percussion. PAWL would describe it as "cinematic pop" -- songs that tell stories and are, at once, catchy, fun, and at times, serious- but never whiny. Arrangement inspired as much by indie pop/rock as Burt Bacharach, Guest House doesn't try to copy the newest trends in independent or popular music; it delivers its own unique combination of classic and modern sounds. PAWL's songwriting draws inspiration from all over the map: from the late Johnny Cash, Elliott Smith, and Nick Drake -- to modern artists such as the Sea and Cake, Beck, Spoon, and Broken Social Scene. For the price of an extra fancy coffee, buy this album- you won't be disappointed.

about

lyrics

I didn’t think--
(when you ordered that first drink
and you held my hand under the table)
--it would mean anything at all

But fate, with a warm and calm embrace
Moved as the dawn did break
And sobered me to your love
Or did you come down from above?

I want you
To bring me in guilty
Won’t you count the red letters
I want you
I want to set me off

We started to see that there is no in between
As we carved our names into the L train stairs
The road won’t always lead you home
But if you follow your own vision
And keep your goal in mind
Your heart will be fine

Across the river
Three thousand miles away…
I saw you shiver
I said, "no, it’s not gonna be this way."
"Not it’s not gonna end this way
Believe it or not it’s a brand new day
Oh, I’m on my way
Oh I'm on my way"

I want you
To bring me in guilty
Won’t you count the red letters?
I want you
I want to set me off
