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, smokin' 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-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.
