Caught In One, along with the rest of the songs in the album Only In Dreams, were written after Dee Dee Penny lost her mother. Loss, pain, and grief are frequent themes on the album’s lyrics.

Death is on the telephone
I lie and say she isn't home
If only he would make a move instead
He sleeps in her bed
Woah-oh

I waste away my days with you
I'd rather spend them like you do
All skin and bones
But in your eyes, I say to you

Oh this year's been a drag, who knew it'd be so bad
This year's been a drag, who knew it'd be so bad
And I'm caught in one, I just wanna have fun
But I'm caught in one, I just wanna have fun
You can tell me time will heal
But you don't know the way I feel
I never had imagined death
Beyond the vague and cold last breath
But now I see his many forms
The way he builds up like a storm
And all the pain and all the sighs
The world I'm in... my mother's eyes
Woah-oh

Oh this year's been a drag, who knew it'd be so bad
This year's been a drag, who knew it'd be so bad
And I'm caught in one, I just wanna have fun
But I'm caught in one, I just wanna have fun
But I'm caught in one, I just wanna have fun
But I'm caught in one, I just wanna have fun
