Emma Blackery - Your Own Shoes Lyrics






I didn't like where I was living
So I went away and did some thinking
Started to get my things packed
And then I had my car jacked
It was now or never
Now things are better than ever

You can eat pizza when you want to
Can nap all day with no one nagging you
Of course we got them bills to pay
And I'm sure as hell I'll find a way
But until then I will do whatever I choose

Just remember what your parents taught you
And forget all the old things you knew
You're about to live life in your own shoes
It's gonna be one of the best things you can do

Don't get me wrong it can be stressful
Now you have to make your own phone calls
And when a salesman comes knocking at your door
You can't hand them over to your mum no more

Just remember what your parents taught you
And forget all the old things you knew
You're about to live life in your own shoes
It's gonna be one of the best things you can do

And life can get hard
But it's hard anywhere
So why not be sad
In a place you don't care?

You can stay up all night
And sleep up until two
Just remember to clean behind your ears
(And then I just go on for a bit about nothing)

Just remember what your parents taught you
And forget all the old things you knew
You're about to live life in your own shoes
It's gonna be one of the best things you can do

    What's the strumming pattern for this?? This song is so amazing, and I'm trying to learn it, but I can't seem to get it to sound the same without the pattern

  17. m.... o....

    Great song and great video. See you in Shepherds Bush!

  18. T.... A....

    For all I know at 3:20, that could've been intentional

    T.... A....

    Is that in the paid version? I hope so

  19. S.... S....

    I remember hearing this when you first uploaded this video, didnt appreciate it as well as I do now. Had a really rough 2016, and only now deep into 2017 am I standing back up on my own. living alone and having to adult alone is one of the hardest things Ive had to do - took it for granted that I would get to be woken up by my mum putting a cuppa on my bed side table and opening my curtains. getting to see my little sister daily. The little things like getting a hug pretty much whenever I wanted. Now I have to wake myself up and make my own tea, no free hugs on my own. Having to travel some distance to see my family but having to fit it in around my work life. people dont realize how hard it can be sometimes.

    Anyway, thank you for this song - keep doin your thing girl! Hope everyone has a blessed life, and go tell your family you love them!!!!

  20. H.... M....

    I wish you could like things twice....

  21. A.... L....

    God I remember when I watched this the first time, it made me so emotional and I actually cried.

  22. S.... S....

    I keep thinking:

  26. S.... ....

  27. M.... F....

    Does anyone know the chords? :)

  28. l.... b....

    Does Emma's hair look a bit like Narcissa Malfoy's or is it just me?

  29. T.... W....

    Okay, so I've been going back through all Emma's music. This song is suddenly relevant to me, because I'm about to graduate this spring and move out.

  30. A.... W....

    This song made me cry quite a lot because I have a huge fear of growing up and dying but not only just myself, my family and friends, I worry about when they'll die, this song describes some people so well 💗

  31. G.... D....

    I would kill to be able to see Emma sing live. She's such an amazing artist and seeing her live would make my life x

  32. S.... -....

    1:03 She looks like Michael Cera and Nataly Dawn's love child

  33. T.... K....

    Oh, and I moved out a year ago, it's rubbish.

  34. T.... K....

    I love the personality that comes through in this video, it's cool to see likeminded people making great music, proves it's not my mentality holding me back haha!

  35. E.... ....

    Emma I really like what you are doing. I find your videos to be funny but at times serious.
    And then there is your voice that at times is perfect. ( I love it sucks to be you).
    keep up the good work and just be you.
    by the way I'm most likely far out side of your normal demographics 46 years old it was my 16 and 14 year old boys that shows me your videos.

  45. J.... L....

    You have such a good voice! Hope you are well since the infection c

  65. M.... B....

  67. Z.... E....

    I as starved for 10 days when I had a kidney infection 👎

  68. A.... L....

    I want to learn the ukulele to play this (among other) song(s). Does anyone have advice on what kind of ukulele I should get?

    Your so happy it's scary

  75. x.... ....

    0:52 your songs aren't rubbish

  76. x.... ....

    You're a good singer Emma

  77. T.... ....

    I just saw this video a few days ago and I happened to look at the date it was released. It just so happens Emma posted this on my wedding day. Weird and totally accurate. And it kind of freaks me out a little bit XD

  78. M.... L....

    You are adorably talented, and so real ... totally enjoyed this fun song. Glad you have settled in to a new place xox

  79. C.... ....

    it just sucks that we have to turn our volume up to hear emma

  83. a.... x....

    Tyler Joseph?

  84. M.... I....

    I really love your music =}
    You made me tear up at "Remember what your parents taught you"
    X

  85. T.... R....

    Your ukulele songs are the best

  86. F.... ....

    Does anyone know what the chords are? I really wanna know how to play it

  87. S.... L....

    Whether or not you think your music is rubbish, let me just say that i really appreciate it. Writing lyrics is hard. Writing music is hard. Writing music and words that work well together and sound half decent is really, really hard and you make it sound really good so good job!

  88. P.... ....

    are you Mary Morstan?

  89. P.... C....

    Anybody know the cords? i love this song

  90. M.... ....

    I love her music

  91. C.... P....

    Your song is lovely, but your guitar is a bit loud. But your song is cool :)

    C.... P....

    It's a ukulele not a guitar fyi

    C.... P....

    I learn something new everyday ; )

  92. 5.... ....

    I really like this song, Emma ^-^

  93. J.... J....

  97. C.... E....

  98. V.... G....

    V.... G....

  99. D.... L....

    This song is sort of like college, as far as I can tell, which is exciting and terrifying to me as a high school senior

  100. J.... R....

    Anyone know the chords?
