but a big, fat idiot.

- You know that?

- Yeah.

Yeah, it's true.

And I get it. I do.

There are far better men

than you out there, no doubt.

Uh-hmm.

But Josie

doesn't love them, Liam.

She loves you.

And lucky for her, man,

you love her, too.

- Doris?

- Yeah.

I need to get off this plane.

- You're what?

- I need to get off this plane.

Can you ask the pilot

to stay put, please?

- No, no, no.

- Tell the pilot...

You tell the pilot to go,

to fly away.

You know that we are supposed

to leave right now,

so we are going right now

into the air.

Can you just ask

the pilot to open the door?

You tell the pilot

that you are locking the doors

- and we are taking off.

- I need to get off this plane.

You are not getting off

this plane.

I'm getting off this plane.

You are performing

in Berlin in 14 hours.

In 14 hours, I'm going

to be in Louisiana.

- All right.

- For the love of God,

do not get off this plane.

April 9th,

one saved message.

Hi, Liam.

It's me, Josie.

I've called you so many times

I've lost count.

I still don't know why

you left me on our wedding day,

and I don't know

if I'll ever find out.

But I really need you

to call me back.

If you don't, I promised myself

that I'll never call you again.

I have to find some way

to move on with my life.

But I want you to know

if I don't ever

hear back from you,

I will always love you, Liam.

You will always be

the one for me.

And you'll have my heart

forever.

Hey, it's Josie.

Leave a message.

Hey, Josie.

It's me.

It's taken me eight years

to return this message.

I mean, I always wanted to,

but I knew that I needed to know

how to tell you

why I did what I did.

And I haven't figured it out...

until now.

See, my mom

was the love of my life

until I met you.

And...

I know we were young

but the thought of possibly

losing you one day

the way that I lost her...

I thought my heart

couldn't take it,

so I ran.

But I can never move on, Josie.

And that message

that you left me,

I did listen to it.

I listened to it every day

for the last eight years.

And then when I met Billy,

my heart just burst open.

I thought I wasn't good enough

for you two.

But I'm gonna spend

the rest of my life

trying to be.

I'm never leaving

Saint again without you

and Billy by my side.

Josie!

Josie!

You're the one.

You've always been the one.

So you've been carrying around

this old beat-up,

duct-taped,

really ugly cell phone

the past eight years

because of me?

Yeah.

And you really listened

to that message

every single day

since I left it there?

Yeah.

And you're not ever

leaving Saint again

without Billy or me?

Never.

Then I just wanted to say...

welcome home.

Hey, I'm Jake.

Hi, I'm Doris.

Well, it's nice

to meet you, Doris.

You smell good, Jake.

Yeah, woo.

Go, Billy.

Yeah.

- Woo.

- Woo, Billy.

Woo.

Everyone,

you all know my dad.

This is a song we'd like to call

"Finally Home."

Seen it all

Endless nights

Storm clouds brewing

Tired heart

18 wheels, asphalt moving

Felt the hurt

along the way

Seen the tears

roll down her face

Because nothing

could ever take her place

Out there on the road

so long

Home

Finally home

Sometimes it's hard to stop

a rolling stone

But wherever it may roll

It always seems

to find its way back home

Early sun rising

In and out of hotel rooms

I always wanted

Another town

to push on through

-Hi.

- Hanging memories

in my mind

Got me through hard days

and longer nights

But now I'm turning back

the time

I didn't realize

how far I'd gone

Home

Finally home

Sometimes it's hard

to be a rolling stone

But wherever I may roll

I always seem to find

my way back home

Endless nights

That emptiness

lasted forever

When all I wanted

Was all of us

to be together

Home

Finally home

Sometimes it's hard to stop

a rolling stone

But wherever it may roll

I always seem

to find my way back...

Home

Still can't forget

the first kiss

The taste of your lips

After three glasses of wine

Still feel the brush

of your skin

Sneaking your hand

into mine

I've been around a lot,

guess I've seen a lot

And the only thing

that hasn't changed

Is the way

that my heart beats faster

When you cross my mind

Turn off the lights,

tear down the stage

I know it all

just goes away

And if it does

Baby, I won't lose no sleep

All that I want,

all that I need

Is just to know you'll be

at the center of my world

Always and forever my girl

Thought I could

keep my head down

Let it fade out

But you keep

pulling me back

You got a way about you

Attracting me like a magnet

I've been around a lot,

guess I've seen a lot

And the only thing

that hasn't changed

Is the way that your voice

Echoes through my mind

like that

Turn off the lights,

tear down the stage

I know it all

just goes away

And if it does

Baby, I won't lose no sleep

All that I want,

all that I need

Is just to know you'll be

at the center of my world

Always and forever my girl

It's like

nothing else mattered

Yeah, except for us

two ever after

Oh

Like nothing else matters

No, except for us

two ever after

Turn off the lights,

tear down the stage

I know it all

just goes away

And if it does

Baby, I won't lose no sleep

All that I want,

all that I need

Just to know you'll be

at the center of my world

Always and forever my girl

Yeah

Forever my girl

Always and forever my girl

Forever my girl

Yeah

Sitting in the dark

All night fighting shadows

And the urge to call you up

Hits me like an arrow

It ain't the whiskey

talking

Or the loneliness

I'm feeling

It's the memories

of the little things

That keep me from healing

I'd give up all the days

I got left on this earth

Because without you

I don't know

what they're worth

I'd give it all for you

If you let me

This heart

don't have a home

Without you in it

And I stand before you

As a man who's been broken

Truer words

were never spoken

Is that enough?

Is that enough

For your love?

Oh

The flame I keep inside

Burns through rainy nights

Even though I've tried

To put it out

So many times

I've been watching sands

Fall through the glass

And I'll keep waiting here

for you

Until every grain

has passed

Give up all the days

I got left on this earth

All I got left

Because without you

I don't know

what they're worth

I'd give it all

For you if you let me

This heart

don't have a home

Without you in it, no

I stand before you

As someone

who's been broken

Truer words

were never spoken

Is that enough?

Is that enough

For your love?

Oh

Oh, love

I'd give it all for you

If you let me

Oh

Oh

I stand before you

As someone

who's been broken

Truer words

were never spoken

Is that enough?

Is that enough?

Is that enough?

Is that enough?

Is that enough?

Is that enough

For your love?

For your love?
