This is not the correct interpretation. Formally, if we constructed 100 confidence intervals from arbitrary samples we would expect roughly 95 of them to contain the parameter where roughly 5 will not within these intervals.

There is nothing special about the range of numbers in a given sample's confidence interval, but rather that the range may contain the parameter with a certain degree of confidence.
