Caught Up
Corella Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the old town
We were standing
On the shoulders
Of the people that we
Didn′t really know
Tryna see me no-oh
Never will the grass grow
Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Why did I ever let you go
Into all the situations
Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Why did I ever let you go
Why don′t
Why don't they leave us all alone
I've never been too warm to ever turn it down
We could always do the rounds
For the out-boys
Who shared their hometown
Walking, freezing
Pushing, feeling
I′m not sleeping
Sleeping ′til I get home
Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Why did I ever let you go
Into all the situations
Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Why did I ever let you go
Why don't
Why don′t they leave us all alone
Why don't they leave us all alone
Why don′t they leave us all alone
Comin' up now
Gettin′ caught up
I'm comin' up now
We′re gettin′ caught up
We're gettin′ caught up
I'm comin′ up now
I'm comin′ up now
I'm gettin' caught up
We′re gettin′ caught up
I'm comin′ up now
I'm comin′ up now
Higher than I've ever been oh
I′m comin' up now
I'm comin′ up now
We′re gettin' caught up
We′re gettin' caught up
I′m comin' up now
I′m comin' up now
Higher than I've ever been oh
I′m comin′ up now
I'm comin′ up now
We're gettin′ caught up
We're gettin′ caught up
I'm comin' up now
I′m comin′ up now
Higher than I've ever been oh
The song "Caught Up" by Corella tells the story of reminiscing about past experiences with someone, specifically through the lens of night life and partying. In the opening lines, the singer describes being in a crowded party scene, standing on the shoulders of strangers in order to see better. The lines "Never will the grass grow/Higher than I've ever been oh" suggest that they are reaching new heights and experiencing unprecedented levels of joy and excitement. However, the chorus introduces a note of regret and longing, as the singer wonders why they ever let go of this person and why others can't simply leave them alone.
As the song continues, the singer describes the familiar routines of partying with old friends from their hometown, feeling a sense of camaraderie and shared experience. The repetition of the line "I'm comin' up now/We're gettin' caught up" further emphasizes the sentiment of being swept up in the moment and the thrill of living in the present. The song concludes with the singer reaching new heights and expressing determination to continue chasing these peak experiences.
Overall, "Caught Up" is a nostalgic tribute to the euphoria of night life and the power of shared experiences, as well as a lamentation of the transience of those moments and the loss of connections that were once important.
