Caught in a Moment
Sugababes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your stare swallows me
And I can hardly breathe
I feel it's dangerous,
Could be deadly
Somehow I'm willing to do the things you want
Take me in your arms
Spoon-feed my heart and
Drip by drip
I'll take it all
Sip by sip
I guess that it's
Make or break
Boy here and now

We're caught in a moment
And I won't let it go
I am falling deeper, losing my control
Involved in a feeling
Like the blink of a eye
And the silence it belongs to you and I

Broke through barriers
And passed a state of mind
I'm not scared no more
It feels divine
So take me in
And catch me when I fall
I'm waiting on the edge
Uncut my soul

Snip by snip
I'm oozing it
Bit by bit
I'm taking it
Step by step
Boy here and now

We're caught in a moment
And I won't let it go
I am falling deeper, losing my control
Involved in a feeling
Like the blink of a eye
And the silence it belongs to you and I

Secretly I let it slip
Emotional I fall through it
All I know I'm losing my control
I'm down your way too far
And there's no turning back
And now I'm shedding all my fears
I know, I know

We're caught in a moment
And I won't let it go (let it go)
I am falling deeper, losing my control (my control)
Involved in a feeling (involved in a feeling)
Like the blink of a eye (eye)
And the silence it belongs to you and I (I)

Ooh ah ooh oh




Ooh ah ooh oh
Ooh ah ooh oh

The song speaks to the intensity of love and the way it can make someone feel both exhilarated and terrified as they lose control.


As the song continues, the singer describes breaking through emotional barriers and being unafraid of the depth of their feelings. They ask their partner to catch them when they fall, waiting on the edge for them to take them into their arms. The chorus repeats the idea that they are "caught in a moment" and unwilling to let it go, that they are losing control and consumed by the intensity of their emotions in a way that is fleeting and magical.


Overall, "Caught In A Moment" is a powerful expression of the way love can feel all-consuming and dizzying, and the way that vulnerability and fear can exist alongside joy and passion.

Mutya's voice is intoxicating! Her tone is so beautiful. ❤️

@soundseeker63

I didn't realise it at the time but looking back, 2003/4 was actually full of really nice emotional pop songs like this. Maybe it was the last year before X-factor and internet streaming started to kill off good quality pop music for good? Very few can match this level of lyrical and composition quality today. I hope emotional ballads like this make a comeback some day soon.

@alisonshenton

@Rasscasse

Some songs are blessed with a great intro.
More rarely, some songs are blessed with a great outro.
Even more rarely, some songs. like this one have both.
And everything in between is marvellous too.
It’s a splendid thing.
Hats off to the percussionist(s) who gave this song such good feel. Bravo. 👍

@ladyv9912
