MutedEcho - We had the Night

Dedicated to my late best friend. Nightrider. This song summed us up in middle school and early high school. We Had the Night Friday night, homework done Football lights and setting sun Bikes and boards thrown down in the yard Everyone’s pumped, let the night start TV glow, bedroom floor Three of us, maybe four DJ teases “Glory of Love” Fingers on record, hearts above Didn’t know what we were doing But we knew we didn’t care We had the night We had the sound Sneaking out, pass a smoke around Bikes and boards, streetlight hum Every dream still waiting to come We had the night We had the spark Worlds we made in the dark But we never felt alone Stacks of quarters, last arcade High-score ghosts that wouldn’t fade All-night typing, green on black “Don’t hit run… you can’t go back” Denim names in marker lines Hair too big, but we felt fine Movie store, a plastic case Heart too fast for a quiet place Every little thing felt loud Even nothing felt like something now We had the night We had the sound Sneaking out, pass a smoke around Bikes and boards, streetlight hum Every dream still waiting to come We had the night We had the spark Worlds we made in the dark But we never felt alone Phone on the wall, cord stretched thin Talking like the day won’t win Somewhere a song comes on too late Finger shaking on record and play We had the night We had the sound Sneaking out, pass a smoke around Bikes and boards, streetlight hum Every dream still waiting to come We had the night We had the spark Worlds we made in the dark Every time I close my eyes I’m back in that small-town night Close my eyes Feel it again TV glow Radio low Sneaking out Laughter in the wind Lyrics and Music by MutedEcho
