Those Nights
♫ Skillet Lyrics

I remember when
The singer recalls a time in the past when they experienced something, but it is unclear what this experience was.

We used to laugh
During this time in the past, the singer and someone else used to laugh together.

About nothing at all
The reason for their laughter was not based on anything significant or meaningful.

It was better than going mad
Even though the reason for their laughter was insignificant, it was more enjoyable than getting overwhelmed and going insane from trying to solve all the problems they were dealing with.

From trying to solve all the problems we're going through
The artist and their companion were dealing with multiple issues or obstacles at the time, and it was exhausting to try and solve them all.

Forget 'em all
Instead of feeling weighed down by their problems, the singer suggests forgetting all about them.

'Cause all those nights we would stand and never fall
The singer and their friend stood together through their difficulties and never gave up.

Together we faced it all
The two of them tackled their issues as a team.

Remember when we'd
The artist is reflecting on another shared experience from the past.

Stay up late and we'd talk all night
During this shared experience, the pair talked to each other throughout the night.

In a dark room lit by the tv light
The room in which they talked all night was dark but illuminated by the television screen.

Through all the hard times in my life
The artist has gone through difficult times, but this shared experience helped them get through it.

Those nights kept me alive
Talking and sharing laughter with their friend during these experiences was a lifeline for the singer and helped them cope during tough times.

We'd listen to the radio play all night
During another shared experience, the pair listened to the radio all throughout the night.

Didn't want to go home to another fight
The singer and their friend didn't want to go home to problems or conflict so they chose to spend the night listening to the radio instead.

Those nights belong to us
These shared experiences and memories belong to the artist and their friend, and nobody can take that away from them.

There's nothing wrong with us
Despite their issues and problems they are dealing with, the artist wants to remind themselves and their companion that there is nothing inherently wrong with them.

I remember when
Once again, the singer is recalling another shared experience from the past.

We used to drive
During this experience, the singer and their friend drove somewhere to escape their lives for a while.

Anywhere but here
The destination wasn't important, what mattered was getting away and forgetting their struggles.

As long as we'd forget our lives
The goal of this experience was to forget about their day-to-day lives and find some relief.

We were so young and confused that we didn't know
During this time in the past, the artist and their companion were experiencing confusion and uncertainty.

To laugh or cry
The confusion was so great that the two didn't know whether to laugh or cry about it.

Those nights were ours
Once again, these shared experiences belong to the artist and their friend.

They will live and never die
The memories of these experiences will last forever and have a special place in their hearts.

Together we'd stand forever
The singer and their companion vowed to always stand by each other no matter what.

And now I wish those nights would last
The singer is nostalgic and longing for the return of these shared experiences.
