There's a boy, don't know what he's hidin'
He's got 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 them, just because
Let 'em see the highlights
And don't forget the lows
Everybody's got a story no one knows
So just let 'em 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 suprises
And there's a song underneath the silence
You 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 them, just because
Let 'em see the highlights
And don't forget the lows
Everybody's got a story no one knows
So just let 'em play until the credits roll

There's nothing I could be without these memories
Even though they might not show the best of me

Play 'em our home movies
If they wonder who I was
Even if they don't
Then play them, just because (play them, 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 'em play until the credits roll
