The song

“One Big Happy”

Camera's rolling in the living room
Read the lyrics

Camera's rolling in the living room
Same old couch on a slow afternoon
We grew up right there on your screen
Seventeen years like a movie scene

Driveways, minivans, backyard summer light
Every crazy dinner somehow turned out right

We're one big happy - messy but true
One big happy - me and you
Through every fight and every game-night glow
Look how far we go, look how far we go
We're one big happy - still the same
Say my name and we're home again

Kids on bikes are taller now
Time flew by, don't ask me how
Different houses, same old door
Love a little louder than before

Birthdays, road trips, holding on so tight
Every wrong turn somehow led us right

We're one big happy - messy but true
One big happy - me and you
Through every fight and every game-night glow
Look how far we go, look how far we go
We're one big happy - still the same
Say my name and we're home again

Whoa-oh, we made it home
Whoa-oh, never alone
Turn the lights on, pull a chair
Family's family - we'll be there

We're one big happy - messy but true
One big happy - me and you
Through every fight and every game-night glow
Look how far we go, look how far we go
We're one big happy - still the same
Say my name and we're home again
