Emery Adeline has spent her twenty-three years of life with firm roots in the Colorado soil giving her an affinity for exploring the natural world. Whether riding raging rapids with her brother, skiing steep slopes with her father, painting sprawling fields of wildflowers with her mother, or standing on the cliffs of Ireland with new friends, Emery has the ability to harness fresh air as a source of inspiration for her music.
Not only is her inspiration drawn from natural resources, it is also drawn from the depths of her personal life. Listening in to Emery’s music is the best way to get to know her and her soul. Her powerful and honest storytelling comes through without fear in every word she writes. Each song becomes a snapshot of a moment in time that enables the listener to exist in her world, if only for a little while.
Emery has been influenced by music across all genres but finds home among like-minded strong and independent women like Maren Morris, Kacey Musgraves, and Lana Del Rey. Like these powerful female voices, Emery hopes to use her talent to drive and inspire the next generation of girls.

Day dreams
Ripping at the seams
Like a ghost of me
Who I used to be
Long nights
tangled in your eyes
Woven In between
Your sighs
CHS.
I can’t change you
I can’t change you
I can’t change you
I don’t want to
VS2.
Move slow
Love so sweet
It’s like a fantasy
Fleeting
Take it fast
Won’t you take it back
Won’t you let it go ohhh
CHS.
I can’t change you
I can’t change you
I can’t change you
x2
I don’t want to
I don’t want to
I don’t want to
I don’t want to
Vs. 1
So I’ll kiss them in the kitchen while you’re on my mind
and I’ll take a sip of whiskey and pretend everything’s alright
I’ll bite his lip and take a hit, say another line
I’m fine I’m fine
Vs. 2
I’ll throw up in the bathroom put my lipstick right back on
Buy a drink and start to think that maybe this is wrong
I’ll pretend I’m on the mend when I hear our song
But I’m wrong, I’m wrong
Chs.
I’m all out of control
I just can’t let you go
The look in his neon eyes
Gives me solace late at night
So I’ll fall in bed, and lose my head
‘Cause when I kiss him in the kitchen it still feels wrong
Vs. 3
I’ll trick him into loving me
Until I move along
Find a different hand to hold
Inspire some more songs
He’ll think he knows the way I go
Then suddenly I’m gone
Moving on, moving on
Brg.
And there’s days when I hate myself
More than I miss you
I’m falling through
What are these habits I can’t seem to lose
I always lose myself, I lost myself
Vs. 1
What we had magic
Right at our fingertips
We fell too far too fast
We knew it couldn’t last
And our love was all consuming
Knew that the moment you had me
In your hands
We didn’t stand a chance
Pre Chs.
Maybe if we were better
We could have made it work
Too young, too stupid
We couldn’t make it out
Chs.
Push it back a few more years
Give us a little more time to grow
You never know
What could have come
If we weren’t so young
Turn the pages of the book
Give us a little more time to look
At what we’ll become
If we weren’t so young
Vs. 2
You could feel it fading
And you pushed back so hard
I couldn’t keep it up
I was falling out of love
You tried so hard to fight me
holdin on to our day dreams
We were going up in smoke
something you couldn’t hold
Pre Chs. 2
Maybe if we were older
We could have made it last
Maybe I’d still love you
You wouldn’t be so lost
Chs.
Push it back a few more years
Give us a little more time to grow
You never know
What could have come
If we weren’t so young
Turn the pages of the book
Give us a little more time to look
At what we’ll become
If we weren’t so young
What we had magic
Right at our finger tips
We fell too far too fast
We knew it couldn’t last
Vs. 1
I should be over you
I should have let you go
When you walked away
I shouldn’t want you here
Lying next me
On lonely nights
I shouldn’t feel this way
Trapped by your presence
In a drunken haze
Can’t escape all the years
Of wanting you
Chs.
So I’ll go out and I’ll drink up
Pretend the whiskey knows your name
And I’ll wake up in a different bed
And this hangover tastes like you
So I’ll drink to you
Vs. 2
I wake up
Leave traces of my makeup
on sheets that aren’t my own
and start the walk home
pretend I don’t feel numb
and I don’t want you
alone for just one night
Brg.
Cuz those pretty lies
I tell myself
Keep me hanging on
And those pretty lies
I tell myself
Won’t bring you back to me
Vs. 1
There’s an emptiness that I fill with whiskey
Waiting for someone to miss me
I’m not lonely, I don’t need anyone
But sometimes I think it’d be kind of fun
Vs. 2
I’m not sad, but I’m not happy
Waiting for someone to tell me what that means
I’m not lonely, I got plenty of time
So I’ll waste my days while I’m killing time
Chs.
So pour another glass
Close your eyes and knock it back
Count the seconds that it burns
And yearn to feel some kind of hurt
It all feels just fine
It’s just wasting days and killing time
Vs. 3
I remember when I used to feel it
That hopeful thing when I was near him
But we get older and the truth comes clear
Time makes the heart grow numb my dear
Chs.
So pour another glass
Close your eyes and knock it back
Count the seconds that it burns
And yearn to feel some kind of hurt
It all feels just fine
It’s just wasting days and killing time
There’s an emptiness that I fill with Whiskey
I’m just waiting on someone to miss me
VS.
I’m up late most nights, anyways
Might as well come over tonight
When i’m alone, I’ve been feeling cold
And you’re always nice and warm
I like spending time knowing it won’t
Be a lifetime
I’m not, here to stay
Too long
CHS.
You’re hot coffee
In the morning
You wake me up until you’re cold
‘Cause I Don’t need you
Don’t have to have you, but
I like to know I can
VS.
Burning daylight just to see you
Just to be near you, feels right
I’ll never let you know,
Won’t tell you how I’m feeling
But for now I’m yours to hold
CHS 2
You’re my favorite band
Playing a live show
Soon the venue will close
‘Cause I Don’t need you
Don’t have to have you, but
I like to know I can
Instrumental Break
CHS 3.
You’re my favorite band
Playing a live show
Soon the venue will close
People change
Ice melts into lakes
Like you and me were temporary
He smiles and it drives me crazy
And I want him, baby, right now
But he can’t see
How it’s only me
And I need him
I can’t see him with any girl but me
And he holds the key
To make me feel this way
After all these days
I promise I will never sway
And he can’t see
How he’s my world
And I will never leave him
Even when my heart stops beating
And he holds the key
To make me happier
Than any girl could ever be
Do do do do do
And I know that I’m just one girl
But when you’re around
I can’t see straight
I can only see your face
And I know that all those girls
They seem like pretty faces
Maybe chances
But would they write this song for you?
You keep my world turning
And my heart keeps burning
Now promise you will always say
That I, I’m your world
So I’ll be your girl and you can always have me
Do do do its only you
Do do do
And you’re, you’re my world
So I’ll be your girl and you can always have me
I liked who I was
When you were there for me
You made me, so happy
I liked who you were
When you loved me
You were never mean, just happy
Every night
When I close my eyes
The memories flood into my mind
You’re perfect face
That time can’t erase
Haunting me when I try to sleep
Chorus
So how do we get back there?
Back to where we stood?
Back to when I was the only thing that you needed
Or how do I get there?
You’re so far away
Falling in love with someone else, it’s so hard to see
Baby you’re so lucky, you’re over me
Well, now you’ve found
someone from a dream
I’ll bet she’s beautiful,
everything you need
But baby I’m real
I won’t walk away
I’m right in front of you, asking to stay
Chorus
Baby you’re so lucky, you’re over me
All of the sudden everything’s changed
But life has gotten in the way
And you give me feelings that
I’ve never felt before
We talk all day and then
Into the night like nothing’s changed
Your eyes they shine so bright
They’re bluer than the sky
Chorus
And I can’t stand to be alone
And you just got your heart broke
So baby just come back to Colorado
We’ll watch the sunset in the mountains high above
And then maybe we can casually fall in love
You can take me on cute dates
Just like the 50’s before everything changed
And I’ll let you hold my hand
If you promise to never let go
And it’s still summer,
we’ve still got time
To make things happen just right
Beneath the stars for the first time
I’ll let you take me there
Chorus
Everything’s always so serious
Let’s just try and take things slow
Maybe it could come so easily
Until we try then we’ll never know
Chorus
You get under my skin
Even when I don’t want to
let you back in
You set my world on fire
But you don’t take me higher
And I’ve been around the world
I’m not an average girl
But you keep settling down
Keep throwing away my crown
Chorus
I don’t know what to do
I think that I love you
But you’re not good for me
Oh baby help me see
‘Cause I can feel the fire
I can feel the desire
So baby take me higher
But don’t let me fall
You put my nerves on end
So I put up all my defense
But your still holding back
Just let your feelings attack me
And I see right through you
And all the things you do
Well baby we’ve both changed
But some things stay the same
Chorus
Don’t let me fall
Don’t let me fall
Don’t let me fall
Don’t let me fall
I’ll try and make this simple
Because I want you to understand
That just because I’m still hurting
Doesn’t mean I won’t find love again
I think it’s time for me to move on
Because all the signs are telling me you’re gone
Chorus
So I’m letting go
I’m gonna let you out of me
I’m gonna be strong
I’m gonna make you see
That this addiction isn’t good for me
‘Cause darling you’re the pain I’ve just gotten used to
Well it’s still so scary
‘Cause I’ve been holding on too long
And this pain is my companion
We’ve been together so long, too long
All you’ve done is hurt me and let me down
But through my tears I can see, I can turn it around
Chorus
Because of you I’m afraid of love
Of letting go and of opening up
Because of you I wear a smile
Just to show you I’m fine when I’m not
Hoping maybe you’ll change your mind
So I’m letting go
I’m gonna let you out of me
I’m gonna be strong
Im gonna make you see
That this addiction isn’t good for me
Chorus
Baby, you’re the pain I’ve just gotten used to
How is it the tables can turn so quickly
One second you’re right then your words come and hit you
And kick you when you’re down
Things are feeling wrong and we both know, there’s no easy way to go
Down this crazy road of words that we don’t mean
Chorus
Because boy, I know it doesn’t feel like I care
Like I’m always there
But you’re hurting me, don’t want to let you see
Because you’re, you’re all I ever feel like I need
You love me for being me
And I’m learning
How to let you win
What, what am I supposed to do
When I feel like I’ve lost you
And the words I say are so hard for you to take
Scars, we’re giving each other scars
And breaking each other’s hearts
But no ground is being gained
Chorus
And at the end of the day
After all we’ve been through
I still promise to
Always love you
Chorus
You lift me up, just to tear me down
If I fall for you, I’m afraid I might drown
With you I’d be king of the world
But you’re too scared, to let me be your girl
Chorus
Here it comes here’s the tears
Here’s the wishing you were here
It’s not right, sleepless nights
And I’ve lost all the will to fight
Goodbye love, and hello to heartbreak
Despite all the pain that you’ve put me through
I’m still so dumb to care about you
You made me feel like never before
But our love has turned into a war
Chorus
I’m done missing you
I’m done fighting this war
‘Cause you don’t care anymore
Here it comes, here’s the tears
Heres the wishing you were here
It’s not right, sleepless nights
And I’ve lost all the will to fight
Chorus
Someday I’ll forget about you
I’m falling, for him, but I know he’ll catch me
He holds me together when everything is falling
And somehow baby when the world says maybe I know you’ll be my shining star
I don’t need diamonds or rings or flyin’ machines, don’t need those flashy cars
‘Cause baby I got you and I know you’ll be true no matter how hard I fall……. For you
Your eyes are brighter, than any, I’ve ever seen
Your smile it makes me fall to pieces
And somehow baby you think im crazy but you still put up with me
And to my heart you know that nobody else holds the key, ya you’re all I see……
And somehow baby when the world
says maybe I know you’ll be my shining star
I don’t need diamonds or rings or flyin’ machines, don’t need those flashy cars
‘Cause baby I got you and I know you’ll be true no matter how hard I fall……. For you
I tripped into your arms and now I’m gone
Falling into the brightest unknown
The way you feel, makes me real
I’m still falling for you
And somehow baby when the world says maybe I know you’ll be my shining star
I don’t need diamonds or rings or flyin’ machines, don’t need those flashy cars
‘Cause baby I got you and I know you’ll be true no matter how hard I fall……. For you
On the surface it may seem
Like I’m living the fairy tale dream
Perfect home, perfect life
But you don’t know what’s inside
And where no one’s been the walls are paper thin
One blow from caving in
And unfortunately
Mediocracy, will just not work for me
And it looks like you are taking control of me
And finally breaking down everything
While I stay, just out of reach
And I’m keeping my heart inside a bell jar that I try and hide
But you, are pushing through
And I am starting to, let you
I’m enclosed within my walls
And I’m praying that they won’t fall
But you stand below and somehow I know
That I’m not getting out of this alone
Because it looks like you’re the beauty and I’m the beast
Because I can’t even let myself free
From all of my insecurities
And I do not want you to see
This madness that’s enclosed in me
And my fear of letting it free
But I am starting to, let you
Let you in
Let you know
This is how it feels to let go
Let down my guard
‘Cause I’m tired, tired of being alone
So show me how, to let you
And it looks like you are taking control of me
And finally breaking down everything
While I stay, just out of reach
And I’m keeping my heart inside a bell jar that I try and hide
But you, are pushing through
And I am starting to, let you
I’m the ice, she’s the fire
She’s the one who holds his desire
Home I sit, sad at what cost
Confused by change, broken with loss
You’re the sun I’m the rain
I’m the one who ruined our parade
She’ll come in and save the day
She will wipe the rain away
Chorus
He’s the one I hate to love
He’s the one I’m still dreaming of
He’ll come in and save her day
Wipe away the clouds, make her stars shine the same
I’m alone, ya I’m all alone
Gone is my crown ’cause he gave her my throne
Dear boy, here is my pain
I wrote you a sad song because you’re making me insane
You were music in the morning
waking me from dreams
Stars in the evening singing me to sleep
After all the boys who chase me, and buy me nice things
your simplicity in a necklace or you speaking my name
baby come home, my arms are open wide
baby come home, please stop the tears I cry
Chorus x2
All I want ya all I need
Is to still be the one that comes from his dreams
Oh your words aren’t about me anymore
Ever since I walked out that door
You don’t sing for me anymore
And I can really feel that
And I don’t write for you anymore
I really haven’t thought about you at all
But I still sing those songs about you
And it all comes back
Chorus 1
Because maybe you’re a memory
But I don’t think that’s alright with me
And those eyes still make me fall
But you don’t mind at all
All those nights where you held me so tight
Your parents would doubt if we were right
We were too serious for them
And too young for the world
Do those girls you walk around with give you more?
Do you take it? Or do you feel torn?
Or do you ever still think about me
That first love we shared?
Chorus 2
Because maybe I’m a memory
But I don’t think that’s alright with me
And those eyes still make me fall
But you don’t mind at all
‘Cause if we tried again
Would it really mend
The broken and the tears
Would you take my hand
And help me understand
Why you were gone
Chorus 1
No you don’t mind at all.
I wake up to a red sunrise
The whiskey still blurring the lines
With thoughts of you running through my head
No comfort left from the night
I know you’re bad for me
A woman I just can’t trust
But I could never leave you
Even If I must
‘Cause I’m looking at you with love shot eyes
I hear your voice through the tears I cry
And it seems so hard to say goodbye
‘Cause I’m looking at you with love shot eyes
My friends they don’t like you
I know the reason why
Baby it’s that charm that makes me
Forget all your lies
I keep coming back
You’ve got me hypnotized
Well darling I love you
But please get out of my life
‘Cause I’m looking at you through love shot eyes
I see your face in the tears I cry
It’s impossible to say goodbye
‘Cause I’m looking at you through love shot eyes
Why do I need you to keep me sane
When all of my problems are under our name
To you I promise to keep my faith
Look at me, see the truth in my face
‘Cause I’m looking at you through love shot eyes
Baby please come back into my life
I need you here don’t say goodbye
I’ll always see you through love shot eyes
I’m looking at you through love shot eyes
Baby please come back into my life
