i wish i was a farmer

I wanna be a farmer
Who lives down by a lake
I'll jump into the water
Just to watch the waves
As they bleed to the middle in an old familiar way

I miss the farmer's daughter
She used to know my pain
I'd see her in the water
But now she's just a shape
And I can't seem to find a face to put to her name
I'd like to think it's hard to see through the rain

I wish I was a farmer
And maybe then you'd stay
Cause life could be so simple
If you'd just let it change

I'm standing in your bedroom
The dreary-colored walls
You wanted something sky-blue
And it might be my fault
Cause I always stood my ground, did it make you fall

Maybe I'm my father's daughter
I deserve to be alone
But you've gone somewhere farther
Than I could ever go
Tell me would you leave, if you knew what you now know

I'll never be a farmer
I'll never be your home
But I wanna be the somewhere
You'd always wanna go
You'd always wanna go

And maybe then, maybe then you'd stay
If you'd just, if you'd just, if you'd let it change

You used to know my pain
You used to know my pain

I wish I was a farmer
And maybe then you'd stay
Cause life could be so simple
If you'd just let it change
