Hello Midlands
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

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.

Wendy lives in Placeford.
