Home Movies Lyrics
[Verse 1: Lukas Graham]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Lukas Graham]
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
[Chorus: Lukas Graham]
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
[Verse 2: Mickey Guyton]
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
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
[Pre-Chorus: Lukas Graham]
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
[Chorus: Lukas Graham]
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
[Verse 2: Mickey Guyton]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Lukas Graham & Mickey Guyton]
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
[Chorus: Lukas Graham & Mickey Guyton]
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
[Bridge: Mickey Guyton, Lukas Graham, Lukas Graham & Mickey Guyton]
There's nothing I could be without these memories
Even though they might not show the best of me (Oh-oh)
[Chorus: Lukas Graham & Mickey Guyton, Mickey Guyton]
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
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
[Chorus: Lukas Graham & Mickey Guyton]
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
[Bridge: Mickey Guyton, Lukas Graham, Lukas Graham & Mickey Guyton]
There's nothing I could be without these memories
Even though they might not show the best of me (Oh-oh)
[Chorus: Lukas Graham & Mickey Guyton, Mickey Guyton]
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

Genius Answer
Lukas Graham:
’Home Movies’ is a ballad, a duet that looks at life rather than love. The coincidence of boy meets girl and the retrospective understanding that life is lived in the present but understood backwards… Mickey’s vocals really make the lyrics that much better… My favorite line is from the chorus ‘everybody’s got a story no one knows’ and that’s the truth. We all have our inglorious moments and obscure pasts to deal with and that’s what makes life so beautiful; when we manage to rise above the prejudice and make something unique of ourselves.
