We Owned the Night Lyrics

Lyric discussion by MaryMaryQuiteContrary 

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.
