Caught Up
The Motive Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Will you just stop baby, just stop running away
Away from your problems
And I don't know why I say this every day
At least I've got something to say
Will you just stop raving,
Just stop going out to drink to your problems
It won't make them go away
But I'll stay with you

Because I love
I love the way you look in the sunshine
Yeah, I love
I love the way you spoke to me that night
And yeah, I love
I love the way you look in the sunshine
I'm just so caught up in the feeling
I'm just so caught up

I know you won't but maybe you'll start wasting away
Your time on your own
And I don't know why I find the words to say
At least I've got something to say
I know you won't stop raving,
Always running around to drink to your problems
It won't make them go away
But I'll stay
I'll stay
I'll stay

Because I love
I love the way you looked in the sunshine
Yeah, I love
I love the way you looked at me that night
And yeah, I love
I love the way you looked in the sunshine
And I'm just so caught up in the feeling
I'm just so-

I'm just so caught up in the feeling
I'm just so
I'm just so caught up in the feeling
I'm just so
Yeah
I'm just so
I'm just so
I'm just so caught up in the feeling

I'm just so caught up in the feeling
I'm just so
