Worried Shoes Lyrics
I took my lucky break and I broke it in two
Put on my worried shoes
My worried shoes
And my shoes took me so many miles and they never wore out
My worried shoes
My worried shoes
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
My worried shoes
I made a mistake and I never forgot
I tied knots in the laces of
My worried shoes
And with every step that I'd take I'd remember my mistake
As I marched further and further away
In my worried shoes
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
My worried shoes
And my shoes took me down a crooked path
Away from all welcome mats
My worried shoes
And then one day I looked around and I found the sun shining down
And I took off my worried shoes
And the feet broke free
I didn't need to wear
Then I knew the difference between worrying and caring
'Cause I've got a lot of walking to do
And I don't want to wear
My worried shoes
Put on my worried shoes
My worried shoes
And my shoes took me so many miles and they never wore out
My worried shoes
My worried shoes
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
My worried shoes
I made a mistake and I never forgot
I tied knots in the laces of
My worried shoes
And with every step that I'd take I'd remember my mistake
As I marched further and further away
In my worried shoes
oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
My worried shoes
And my shoes took me down a crooked path
Away from all welcome mats
My worried shoes
And then one day I looked around and I found the sun shining down
And I took off my worried shoes
And the feet broke free
I didn't need to wear
Then I knew the difference between worrying and caring
'Cause I've got a lot of walking to do
And I don't want to wear
My worried shoes

I love this.. perfectly describes how you can get tied up (literally in this song) by things, worry about things. And sometimes at some point you just suddenly realize you don't have to worry about things at all. The difference between worrying and caring - you can care for people or care about things without worrying about them. All too often those two seem to go together.
Daniel Johnston cover, with a snippet of a Paul McCartney song 'I took my lucky break and I broke it in two'. This song is about regret, destroying possibilities.
I like how it resolves. It's not like some kind of modern emo song.
to me this is about a person who got herself into a situation that caused her to feel upset, paranoid and worried for a long time. she was unable to get rid of this feeling because this situation seemed unbeatable. "I tied knots in the laces of my worried shoes" but then she realized that it was possible to overcome and she "took off her worried shoes" and decided that caring and worrying are different and she could be happy again. its beautful.
