Settle
BAYNK feat. Sinead Harnett Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's not what you say to me
No, it's just the way that you say it to me
So tell me you want me tonight
Come over and sip on this wine

'Cause if I'm faded, you're faded, we ain't fading too
I saw the best part of me inside of you
Calling you my lover without a title
So what you wanna do?

Baby, I've been dying to know
Are you someone I can call my own?
I just got you onto the phone
Wondering if you already know

Because I promise you
I'll protect you forever
Yeah, if you want me to
I'll stick with you, we'll settle

And I feel your pheromones
Yeah, you really get me into my zone
Loving you only feels right
Could never be too many types

And if I'm falling, you're falling, we ain't falling through
I saw the best part of me inside you
Calling you my lover without a title
So what you wanna do?

Baby, I've been dying to know (dying to know)
Are you someone I can call my own?
I just got you onto the phone
Wondering if you already know

Because I promise you
I'll protect you forever
Yeah, if you want me to
I'll stick with you, we'll settle

(Settle, hmm)
(Settle, hmm)
(Settle, hmm)
(Settle, hmm)

Baby, I've been dying to know (dying to know)
Are you someone I can call my own?
I just got you onto the phone
Wondering if you already know

Because I promise you
I'll protect you forever




Yeah, if you want me to
I'll stick with you, we'll settle

Overall Meaning

The song "Settle" by BAYNK feat. Sinead Harnett is a romantic ballad about two people who are unsure about their relationship status. The lyrics focus on the way that the two individuals interact with each other, rather than on any concrete commitments or declarations. The first verse sets the tone for the song by highlighting the importance of tone in communication. The singer notes that it's not what a person says, but how they say it, that can make all the difference in the world. The second verse is about the singer's feelings for their partner. They confess that they want to be with this person and are willing to protect them forever. However, they're uncertain about whether or not their partner feels the same way.


The chorus emphasizes the idea that the two are hesitant to fully commit to one another. The lyrics repeat the phrase "calling you my lover without a title," highlighting the fact that the two are essentially in a limbo between friendship and a more serious relationship. The pre-chorus and second verse are identical, emphasizing the singer's feelings of uncertainty and hopefulness. The bridge reinforces the idea that the two are falling for one another, but are not sure what to do about it. The final chorus repeats the earlier sentiments, with the singer wondering if their partner feels the same way they do.


Overall, the song is a poignant exploration of the complexities of modern relationships. Although the lyrics seem simple on the surface, they touch on issues of communication, commitment, and vulnerability, which are all essential to any meaningful relationship.
