Caught In The Storm is an original song first featured in The Fallout, the second episode of the second season of Smash. The song was written by Benj Pasek & Justin Paul. The version released as a single features Katharine McPhee (Karen Cartwright) on lead vocals.
In the context of Hit List, the song is sung by Jesse and serves as the finale number to Act I. Jesse begins to dislike who she has become, as he watches Nina publicly humiliating the Diva at that year's VMAs.

Jesse:
You can push me away, I can take it
I can make you a promise, and break it
We know the way it goes by now
Running off just to see if I chase you
I pretend I know how to replace you
Still we get tangled up some how
Hear it thunder, and I wonder
How long can I hang on?
I'm caught in the storm
I'm caught in the rain
I'm caught in the rush that hides this pain
I'm ready to drown, but it's comin' down, but I feel so alive
Just let me go, just walk away
If you love someone, you never let them stay
Caught in the storm
As the bars on the Bowery are closing
You arrive at the door, standing frozen
You say you thought you'd find me here
Tell me how I begin to forget you
When you keep coming back and I let you
Love me until you disappear
I'm caught in the storm
I'm caught in the rain
I'm caught in the rush that hides this pain
I'm ready to drown, but it's comin' down, but I feel so alive
Just let me go, just walk away
If you love someone, you never let them stay
Caught in the storm
Let me wash away, you can find me after the flood
Let me wash away
Caught in the storm
Caught in the rain
Caught in the rush that hides this pain
When you love someone you find a way to stay
Caught in the storm
