Caught Up
Jessica Hernandez and the Deltas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take all the money
You can keep all of the times
I was left
On the corner
With my heart unsatisfied
I came to take my things, don't need your help
Call out the orders
Watch the heads all run and roll
On your own
With your shoulders
Holdin' all the things you broke
You can keep what you owe me
Just as long as I can go
Fell apart
When you told me
What was ours was all your own
I got caught up lyin' to myself
I came to take my things, don't need your help
Take away the pictures and lock away the promises and more
Creep into a funny place
Holdin' all the things we had before
Only room for 1 of you
Leave the other people at the door
If the others weren't comin' out
I would still be fightin' for your time
If the others weren't comin' out
I would still be fighting for your love
I got caught up lyin' to myself
The lyrics of Jessica Hernandez and the Deltas's song Caught Up talk about a person who has had enough of being lied to and used in a romantic relationship. The song explores themes such as heartbreak, betrayal, and the desire for better things. The first verse talks about how the person was left on the corner with an unsatisfied heart after giving in too much to the relationship. They don't want the memories but want to keep the money.
The second verse talks about the aftermath of the relationship, with the person "holding all the things you broke." They don't want to owe anything to the other person and just want to go their own way. The bridge then talks about how they would still be fighting for love if the other people weren't involved, but now they just want to move on.
Overall, the song is about standing up for oneself and breaking free from a toxic relationship that has caused nothing but pain and heartache.

Take all the money
Take all the material possessions from me
You can keep all of the times
You can keep all the memories we made
I was left on the corner with my heart unsatisfied
You left me feeling incomplete and unhappy
I got caught up lyin' to myself
I got too caught up in my own lies
I came to take my things, don't need your help
I only need your things, not your assistance
Call out the orders
Give commands to others
Watch the heads all run and roll
Observe everyone scurrying around in chaos
With your shoulders holdin' all the things you broke
You have the burden of fixing what you destroyed
You can keep what you owe me
You can keep what you owe me in exchange for what you took from me
Just as long as I can go
As long as I can move on with my life
Fell apart when you told me what was ours was all your own
I fell apart when you claimed ownership over things that were meant to be shared
Take away the pictures and lock away the promises and more
Remove all the memories and commitments we made
Creep into a funny place holding all the things we had before
Nostalgia still lingers despite trying to move on
Only room for 1 of you, leave the other people at the door
I only have space for one person in my life, so leave others behind
If the others weren't comin' out, I would still be fightin' for your time
I would still prioritize you, even if I didn't have competition
If the others weren't comin' out, I would still be fighting for your love
I would still be fighting for your affection, regardless of other contenders

Good song, great album... love the diversity of the band and them being able to successfully strike different moods between Garage Rock, RnB, and Soul. And seriously that voice is soo damn awesome...
