I'll touch your hand will you touch mine
I feel the tension in my spine
Waiting for you to verify
Can you not see I'm terrified
Should i say something bout the time
I'll move in closer will our legs align
Tongue tied what do I say to her
Trapped in this adolescent mind
You say you need to go
But you're not leaving I don't know
What am I waiting for
My words get caught up in my throat
You say you need to go
But you're not leaving I don't know
What am I waiting for
My words get caught up in my
My words get caught up in my throat
My words get caught up in my throat
I'm flying in my your eyes
I revel in the afterglow
I'm flying in my mind
I never wanna let it go
Na na na na, na na na na na
Na na na na, na na na na, na na
Na na na na, na na na na na na

Tongue tied what do I say to her
Trapped in this adolescent mind
You say you need to go
But you're not leaving I don't know

The lyrics of "Caught Up" by wilsonlikethevolleyball depict the feelings of nervousness, anticipation, and infatuation in a romantic encounter. The singer considers whether they should take a bold step by standing up and turning off the lights, symbolizing a desire for intimacy and shared vulnerability. The line "I'll touch your hand will you touch mine" implies a longing for physical connection and a mutual exchange of affection.
The tension intensifies as the singer confesses feeling terrified, indicating the fear and uncertainty that often accompany intense emotions. They ponder whether they should mention the passing of time and subsequently attempt to align their legs, suggesting a desire for physical and emotional closeness. The phrase "I feel it growing later" could also suggest a sense of urgency or dwindling opportunity to express their feelings.
However, the singer finds themselves tongue-tied, trapped in their own adolescent mind, unsure of what to say or how to communicate their emotions effectively. This internal struggle highlights the immaturity and inexperience prevalent in adolescence, adding depth to the narrative.

The phrase "You say you need to go, but you're not leaving" implies that the person they are infatuated with has not physically left yet, but there is an underlying sense that the connection may be slipping away. The repetition of the line "My words get caught up in my throat" reflects the singer's struggle to articulate their feelings and communicate their desires, highlighting their internal conflict and frustration.
The bridge section expresses the singer's euphoric state, finding solace and joy in the person they are infatuated with. The imagery of "flying in their eyes" and reveling in the afterglow portrays the intense emotional high they experience when being around this person. The repetition of "na na na" serves to emphasize the blissful and carefree emotions associated with this moment.
