Wendy is a song about choosing your own path eventually and deciding some sacrifices are not worth it. It’s about taking control of your life and not waiting around on someone who can’t decide. This song references the book and movies about Peter Pan and Wendy.
[Verse 1]
You're rollin' like a stone
You're laughin' like a kid
You're callin' like the future
Then you're closed up like a fist
[Pre-Chorus]
Lost my page when you kissed me
Now I remember the whole book
She almost loses her way 'cause
She followed him after one look
[Chorus]
You could take me to Neverland, baby
We could live off of magic and maybes
But I know the girl that you want and it scares me
Behind every lost boy, there's always a Wendy
[Verse 2]
And you're pretty like a girl till you're vicious like a man
(Vicious like a, vicious like a, vicious like a)
Yeah, you give up like a ghost leavin' halfway through the band
(Halfway through the band, band)
Then you're evasive on the phone till you're sorry on the floor
So I'm throwin' you a bone 'cause you want me and you're sure
If I'm not careful, I'll wake up and we'll be married
And I'll still flinch at the sound of a door
[Chorus]
You could take me to Neverland, baby
We could live off of magic and maybes
But I know the girl that you want and it scares me
Behind every lost boy, there's always a Wendy
So I'll lock the window and turn on the AC
You'll throw your rocks and you'll scream that you hate me
But it gets old bein' forever twenty
And what about my wings? What about Wendy?
[Bridge]
Take the hand and go, go with him
Be the clock that he watches
Wait until he gets bored and wanders back to the forest
Lose the world that you live in
Pretend that it's what you wanted
It's a life I could have, I know
[Chorus]
You could take me to Neverland, baby
We could live off of magic and maybes
I could love you and wait till you're ready
But what about my wings? What about Wendy?
So I'll lock the window and turn on the AC (AC)
You'll throw your rocks and you'll scream that you hate me (You hate me)
But it gets old being forever twenty
And what about my wings? What about Wendy?
[Outro]
What about Wendy?
What about Wen—?
What about Wen—?
What about Wendy?

“Wendy” is one of five songs I wrote in Decoy Studios in Suffolk during a week last October. For some reason, the story of Peter Pan and the character of Wendy had been rattling round my mind – something about her story felt compelling and untold to me, and so, that night, when Brad [Ellis], Jez [As...
