From the recording Stay Tuned ©
The song describes a feeling of being overwhelmed
and pulled in many directions, despite being caught up in one's own world. The
lyrics express a desire to return to a pivotal point ("the crossroad") to make a new
decision, aiming to create something real from a small beginning ("start with a
seed and watch it grow").
It is a bookend to the first track, Hit or Miss, in that it has similar words, but a different melody.
Lyrics
CAUGHT UP IN MY OWN LITTLE WORLD
YET HAVE NO TIME OF MY OWN
GETTING PULLED IN EVERY DIRECTION
EXCEPT WHERE I WANT TO GO
START WITH A SEED AND WATCH IT GROW
INTO SOMETHING REAL
GOTTA GET BACK TO THE CROSSROAD
AND MAKE ANOTHER DEAL
‘CAUSE I’M SO CAUGHT UP
IN MY OWN LITTLE WORLD
YEAH I’M SO CAUGHT UP
IN MY OWN LITTLE WORLD
