The Night We Met
Lord Huron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who has not repaid his debt
I've been searching for a trail to follow again
Take me back to the night we met
And then I can tell myself
What the hell I'm supposed to do
And then I can tell myself
Not to ride along with you
I had all and then most of you
Some and now none of you
Take me back to the night we met
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
Haunted by the ghost of you
Oh, take me back to the night we met
When the night was full of terrors
And your eyes were filled with tears
When you had not touched me yet
Oh, take me back to the night we met
I had all and then most of you
Some and now none of you
Take me back to the night we met
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
Haunted by the ghost of you
Take me back to the night we met
The opening lines of Lord Huron's song The Night We Met express a sentiment that many people can relate to – that of feeling like you owe a debt that you cannot repay. The singer acknowledges that he is not alone in this feeling, but that he has been searching for a path that he can follow. He longs to go back to the night he met the person he is singing to, as if that is where everything began to unravel.
The chorus of the song speaks to the confusion and heartbreak that can arise in a relationship that has gone wrong. The singer is grappling with what he is supposed to do, and is haunted by the memory of the person he lost. He is desperate to go back to that moment when things were still good, when there was still hope for the two of them.
The second verse of the song paints a picture of a scary and uncertain time, when the night was filled with terrors and the person he loves was crying. Yet even in this moment of darkness, the singer longs for the past, for the night they met. He cannot let go of the memory of what they once had, and he continues to be haunted by the ghost of the person he loved.
Overall, The Night We Met is a powerful and poignant exploration of loss, regret, and the longing to return to a moment in time when everything was still possible.

I am not the only traveler
There are others like me who have yet to fulfill their obligation
Who has not repaid his debt
Who still has a debt to pay, like me
I've been searching for a trail to follow again
I'm looking for a path to take me back to where I want to be
Take me back to the night we met
I want to return to that place where I was happy
And then I can tell myself
If I can just do this one thing
What the hell I'm supposed to do
Then I will finally know what I should be doing
Not to ride along with you
I will avoid making the same mistake again
I had all and then most of you
I once had everything with you, but now only have some or none of it
Some and now none of you
I lost you and now have nothing left
Haunted by the ghost of you
I can't get you out of my mind and you continue to haunt me
Oh, take me back to the night we met
Please bring me back to that moment when everything felt right
When the night was full of terrors
The night was dark and scary
And your eyes were filled with tears
You were emotional and vulnerable
When you had not touched me yet
Before we had made a physical connection
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
I'm lost and don't know which direction to take

Met her in 2019. We chatted, laughed, and shared stories. I hesitated at first but fell for her deeply.
However, I couldn't express my feelings due to financial instability. By the time I mustered the courage
to tell her, she had moved on. I realized I was more emotionally attached than she was. She cut me off
completely, which I understand. Four years of memories and emotions, emotions I only shared with her.
She moved on last year, but I haven't. I still struggle to replace the peace I felt just by seeing her face.
This song reminds me of the fear I felt returning to the place we last met, where a part of me was lost.
I wonder, do the people we lose feel the loss too? Four years ago, we were strangers, and now we are
strangers again. I grieved and questioned the Almighty—if we weren’t meant to be, why did we meet?
This song embodies that question.

I am not the only traveler
Who has not repaid his debt

Take me back to the night we met
And then I can tell myself
What the hell I'm supposed to do
And then I can tell myself
Not to ride along with you
I had all and then most of you
Some and now none of you
Take me back to the night we met
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
Haunted by the ghost of you
Oh, take me back to the night we met
When the night was full of terrors
And your eyes were filled with tears
When you had not touched me yet
Oh, take me back to the night we met
I had all and then most of you
Some and now none of you
Take me back to the night we met
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
Haunted by the ghost of you
Take me back to the night we met
