There's a boy, don't know what he's hidin'
He's got his mother's eyes, and his daddy's charm
Just the right mix
And there's a girl, she knew where to find him
In the local bar, smoking in the dark
It was perfect timing
But what they both didn't know
Is how far this thing would go
And they might not want the truth
But if they do
Play 'em our home movies
If they wonder who I was
Even if they don't, then play 'em just because
Let 'em see the highlights
And don't forget the lows
Everybody's got a story no one knows
So just let them play until the credits roll
There's a story, I didn't know we'd write it
However long it took, it's an open book
If you love surprises
There's a song underneath the silence
You can hear the crowd sing the words out loud
In just the right pitch
But what we both didn't know
Is how far this thing would go
And we might not make it through
But if we do
Play 'em our home movies
If they wonder who I was
Even if they don't, then play 'em just because
Let 'em see the highlights
And don't forget the lows
Everybody's got a story no one knows
So just let them play until the credits roll
There's nothing I could be without these memories
Even though they might not show the best of me (oh)
Play 'em our home movies
If they wonder who I was
Even if they don't
Then play 'em just because (play 'em just because)
Let 'em see the highlights
And don't forget the lows
Everybody's got a story no one knows (no one knows)
So just let them play until the credits roll
