[Verse 1]
Dear Mum
Everything's gone wrong
And I wish I'd listened to what you said
The times you sat down on my bed
And told me 'bout my life

[Verse 2]
Dear Mum
I've been out of touch
Oh well, I guess I just didn't need you that much
But now I'll scream and shout
I've got something to write home about
Something to write home about

[Verse 3]
Dear Mum
Everything has changed
I don't know if you'd know me today
I wonder what we'd have to say
When I told you 'bout my life
When I told you 'bout my life

[Verse 4]
And now
Everything's a blur
Oh well, I know what happened but lost the words
That we can't live without
And now I've got something to write home about
Something to write home about
Something to write home about
Something to write home about
Something to write home about
[Verse 5]
And so
It's time to go
Oh well, I'm glad we've had this time alone
Before I went away
Now I've got something to write home about
Something to write home about
Something to write home about
Something to write home about
Something to write home about
Something to write home about
Something to write home about
