[Verse 1]
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 the face to put to her name
I'd like to think it's hard to see through the rain
Mmm, mmm
[Chorus]
I wish I was a farmer
And maybe then you'd stay
'Cause life could be so simple
If you just let it change
[Verse 2]
I'm standing in your bedroom
The dreary colored walls
You wanted something sky-bluе
And it might be my fault
'Cause I always stood my ground, did it make you fall?
Maybе 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 know now?
[Chorus]
I'll never be a farmer
I'll never be a farmer
But I wanna be the somewhere
You'd always wanna go
You'd always wanna go
[Bridge]
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
[Outro]
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
