Robbie had been touring for quite a while before the release of this song and this album and so he hasn’t had any time to be at home with his family. He reflects on not being able to see his family throughout this song.
[Verse 1]
Pick up the phone
Make your bed, eat some toast
If reminding's what you needed
Then here's your post-it note
[Verse 2]
Sing a new song
That's been there all along
Throw it out into the distance
There's no way to sing it wrong
[Chorus]
Buddy
You just need to go home
And I think maybe
You just miss your mum
(Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm, hmm
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm, hmm)
[Verse 3]
Keep wakin' up
With this weight on my chest
It's just called bein' a person
I never planned for this
(Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm, hmm
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm, hmm)
[Verse 4]
The sun feels nice
Through the window with a view
It's fine bein' a person
'Cause I got to meet you, ooh
(Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm, hmm
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm, hmm)
[Chorus]
Buddy
You just need to find home
And I think maybe
You just miss your mum
[Outro]
I miss my mum
I miss my mum
I miss my mum
I miss my mum
