I may be way off the target, but I interpret this as maybe she simply just can't figure out what to do with her life. Wanting to get up and go away to the country side, cuts down her belongings suggesting she's ready to go, but then changing her mind because she can't let go of the people she knows even if she claims not to care what they think. But she's still torn between staying and leaving, thus the grass is always greener. and maybe she's even trying to get him to go with her? ("She keeps on telling me i'm not made for this") I love this song I just wish I understood what the "blue paper" symbolizes.

"Blue paper" - some exams, college essay tests, etc., are written out in blue paper booklets. Maybe he's criticizing this person's inability to make a decision... she has to treat everything like a school assignment, overthinking and overanalyzing?
