00:00You didn't say who you are Hey I'm Molly Patent and I am here in my
00:07room for Rolling Stones In My Room.
00:11My debut album Your Yoda just came out and this is the almost title track of that.
00:16I hope you're on your own this time again.
00:18I know I'm not the man you used to want to grow up to be
00:33I feel sick when you say you see yourself in me
00:40I guess that I didn't put a look in your eyes
00:46Time's been cruel to you and I guess so have I
00:52And I can't stand to see you hurt even after what you've done
01:00I shouldn't follow you I'm telling all my friends
01:10There is nothing left for me in there
01:16Do you want me to turn again?
01:30I hate the way life is it reminds me of myself
01:45And I still got a feel in your shirt and the back of my shelves
01:52I couldn't explain why I hold on to your things
01:57I guess the memory of you gets the better of me
02:04And I hate to think I will be left to all the things you've done
02:12I shouldn't follow you I'm telling all my friends
02:22There is nothing left for me in there
02:28Do you want me to turn again?
02:52I shouldn't follow you I'm telling all my friends
03:11There is nothing left for me in there
03:17Do you want me to turn again?
03:25I shouldn't follow you I'm telling all my friends
03:35There is nothing left for me in there
03:41Do you want me to turn again?

04:24I've been a little bit misguised
04:28Tried to put some distance between myself and the past
04:38But sometimes it comes up to greet me
04:42And it kisses me sweetly and tells me to rest
04:52Of a ship floating softly through memory
04:56Tipping ever so gently until it stops to sink
05:07And then I'm recalling that feeling of falling
05:13All those times that pushed me over the brink
05:19It's a kind of reaction to a lack of correction
05:26And with a bit of affection we could make it through
05:33I'm tired of thinking and I'm tired of drinking
05:39So show me the directions to get back to you
05:46To get back to you
05:55guitar solo
06:02I've been a little bit distant
06:06Didn't say a thing at dinner
06:09I pretended that I had to call a friend
06:16But I still love you baby
06:20Sometimes you drive me crazy
06:23I don't think that I'll ever want you
06:29Cause it's a kind of reaction to a lack of direction
06:36And with a bit of affection we could make it through
06:43I'm tired of thinking and I'm tired of drinking
06:50So show me the directions to get back to you
06:56To get back cause I still love you baby
07:01But sometimes you drive me crazy
07:05I don't think that I'll ever want the end of us
07:10I'll always need you
07:25It's a kind of reaction to a lack of direction
07:32And with a bit of affection we could make it through
07:39I'm tired of thinking and I'm tired of drinking
07:45So show me the directions to get back to you
07:52To get back to you
08:00To get back to you
08:13This next song, which is my last song for today
08:17I wrote on a night just like this one
08:21It was very cold and I was in my room just like I am now
08:25And it just came out, fully formed
08:28It was a really nice songwriting experience
08:31The song is called Asphalt
08:45I've been sleeping, sitting, walking
08:52Here, breathing, with the neighbors talking
08:58Last night when you picked up on me
09:02I fell out, knocking on a car window
09:07Shattering on the asphalt
09:10I forgot to eat breakfast with a third day in a row
09:16I don't wanna be happy
09:19I don't wanna be beautiful
09:22You make it look easy
09:25How dare you switch it off
09:28When the world gets heavy
09:31It keeps going when you've had enough
09:35But I can't afford to bargain
09:38So I ask you for a ride
09:41There's traffic on the overpass
09:44It's a drive, but you don't mind
09:47You skip that turn around
09:50The one you showed me when we met
09:53We've heard it one too many times
09:56I dream about how far we get
10:14I've been sleeping, sitting, walking
10:30Here, breathing, with the neighbors talking
10:36Last night when you picked up on me
10:41I fell out, knocking on a car window
10:46Shattering on the asphalt
