about

Wendy has never been more than an hour or so outside of Placeford.

She wouldn’t say no to a holiday. She’s tired.
She gets her news online these days. It’s easier that way.
It makes her anxious. It makes her sad. Sometimes a bit angry.

Wendy’s been doing a lot of reading on her phone, and she can feel she’s about to make a decision.

lyrics

Wendy says she's hoping for a happier new year
She's made her promises
Wrote them all down in December
Don't want for more
just be glad for what's here

There's a million different reasons she could choose to get upset
There's a million different faces she could choose to blame and yet
She's not trying to change the world
She's just trying to get by

She says hold me tighter
Wendy's worried about it all
She says kiss me harder
She says i'm so afraid
Wendy's locking up her door


Wendy read, you know the system isn't fair, now she can't get her share
Wendy read, they said, i fear they're near, they keep on coming here
but they really should stay over there

There's a link in every headline she can click to feel afraid
There's a list of people ready there to blame
She's not got time to get too angry
She's just trying to get by

Wendy heard someone say
It's okay, to not be okay
Well okay.
That's okay
'cause she's not been feeling all that well
But there's nobody's around to tell.
The alarm's still going to ring.
(woah woah)

Wendy read she should worry about the climate
and the borders and the president and the virus and the small boats and the room with the computer that they're building that'll take her job and burn the whole place down


She says on the day i die
At least i know i tried
Just to get by

She says hold me tighter
Wendy's worried about it all
She says kiss me harder
She says i'm so afraid
I'm so afraid
I'm so afraid
I'm so afraid
I'm so afraid
