Caught Up In A Dream offers a moment of quiet, if lonesome contemplation. The lyrics describe holding onto the past and coping with its loss through the metaphor of being ‘caught up in a dream’. However, there is a sense of maturity in its narration, as though Sarah is picking herself up and seeing...
[Verse 1]
Walking in the wind to get lost
I was shedding a skin off again
It's been a while a since you occupied my thoughts
But I'll let you come back in
[Verse 2]
And the current is a coming
Don't you hear the water running?
To wash away
We will wash away
And my grip is slipping under
Some nights I often wander
If I should've stayed
But I can't stay
[Chorus]
Slow down, it seems I was caught up in a dream
Falling asleep just to feel something
Wake me, I see I was caught up in a dream
[Verse 3]
Running through the dark for a moment
I was out in the open
And the motions of going to find me
Even after I let go of the feeling
I still had no idea who I was supposed to be
[Verse 4]
And the tide is a-turning
Every bottle full of burning
But it's all еmpty
So who am I? Who am in your memory?
What am I? What am I when you look at me?
What do you see?
[Chorus]
Slow down, it seems I was caught up in a drеam
Falling asleep just to feel something
Wake me, I see I was caught up in a dream
[Bridge]
I'm living, dying, I'm born again
I still think of you every now and then
I'm living, dying, I'm born again
Will you think of me when you have a second?
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
And the storm is raging
It's coming after me
Maybe we're not so different
Maybe we need company
Let the hurricane rise
I'm in the eye of it
But I'm still standing up on my feet again
I'm still standing up on my feet again
When you come back in again
[Chorus]
Slow down, it's seems I was caught up in a dream
Falling asleep just to feel something
Wake me, I see I was caught up in a dream
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, uh-ooh
[Outro]
I'm living, dying
I'm born again
I'm born again
