We Owned the Night Lyrics
Tell me have you ever wanted someone so much it hurts
Your lips keep trying to speak but you just can’t find the words
I had this dream once; I had it in my head
She was the purest beauty but not the common kind
She had a way about her that made you feel alive
And for a moment we made the world stand still
Yeah, we owned the night
You had me dim the lights you danced just like a child
The wine spilled on your dress and all you did was smile
Yeah it was perfect and I hold it in my mind
Yeah, we owned the night
Oh yeah!
When the summer rolls around and the sun starts sinking down
I still remember you, oh I remember you
And I wonder where you are, are you looking at those same stars again?
Do you remember when?
We awoke under a blanket all tangled up in skin
Not knowing in that moment we’d never speak again
But it was perfect I never will forget
When we owned the night
Yeah we owned the night
Yeah!
Your lips keep trying to speak but you just can’t find the words
I had this dream once; I had it in my head
She had a way about her that made you feel alive
And for a moment we made the world stand still
Yeah, we owned the night
The wine spilled on your dress and all you did was smile
Yeah it was perfect and I hold it in my mind
Yeah, we owned the night
Oh yeah!
I still remember you, oh I remember you
And I wonder where you are, are you looking at those same stars again?
Do you remember when?
Not knowing in that moment we’d never speak again
But it was perfect I never will forget
When we owned the night
Yeah we owned the night
Yeah!

i believe its about having that one majical night when you meet that one person you spend the whole night with then never seeing or talking to them ever again... kinda like that one night stand that felt even better then being in love with someone ya no??!
Even though this song is about a one night stand, it is so effing beautiful!! I agree with jami1andonly, maybe this person meant more than your thought, but you're satisfied that you got them that once. And you have that beautiful night to remember, when we owned the night. Sigh. Love.
Great song, although a little sad. It's about losing a dream (a relationship) due to being unable to voice ones feelings for another. When he was with her he felt he had it all ("we owned the night"). Whenever he looks upward to the sky he thinks of her and what he had (and lost). Apparently when he needed to act (to speak) the words escaped him...and she him. First listen to this band. I like 'em.
