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?

04:12guitar solo

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
