Elevation 03:17
As I go higher, away from the sea, the elevation makes it so hard to breathe And I get farther away from my home the elevation makes me feel so alone, I want to lose control As I get closer to the top, the elevation makes my stomach drop And I remember why I came, 'cause the elevation makes me feel so insane, I want to lose control When I get tired, I fall into grief the elevation won't give me relief And I can hardly stay awake the elevation just won't give me a break Want to lose myself, want to be someone else
2.
See the leaves falling, and the temperature too, all the more reason to hold me close to you It's getting a little chilly, please, here take my coat See the green grass red roses too, all reminds me of the thing's I'm trying to do I just need some time, to get it all together Get it all together The sun sets early, and the wind it bites Forget all the things you knew now, what's new is right Let's go seize the day and keep it all forever Keep it all forever Everything's slowing down, so why don't we? There's nothing left to lose, so follow me All we need is time, and time's on our side Time's on our side
3.
Trouble coming again, I know it's real Trouble eating my soul Trouble coming again, I know I feel trouble digging a hole Trouble won't get away, I know I've tried, trouble killing me slow Trouble won't let me be, I know I lied, trouble take me below and help me let it go Give me courage to stand and take what's mine Give me something to earn Give me patience to stand the test of time Give me something to learn Give me change after chance to prove myself Give me love, give me hate Give me chance after chance to lose myself Give me patience to wait and maybe it'll fade away Help me let it go

If I go back where I'm from, all I risk is all I've won If I leave from where I've come, all I lose is all I've done Now I know what I've always known, think I've gone too far from home Now I see where I've been lead, all these things inside of my head If I could, I'd be with you instead, but to you, well I'm as good as dead I got swept up in the flow, think I've gone too far from home It's not too late to go back now, still got time, but I need to be found All at once I look around, and I feel that there's no way out I can't help but feel so alone, now I've gone too far from home
5.
When I wake up in the morning, what am I gonna see? When I wake up in the morning, girl, are you gonna be with me? When I wake up, in the morning, what will I find? When I wake up in the morning, what'll be left that's mine? When I go to bed tomorrow, will I realize? When I go to bed tomorrow, will I finally recognize? When I go to bed tomorrow, you won't be there Will I go to bed tomorrow? Girl, no one will care Think I'm going off the deep end, what am I gonna do? I think I'm going off the deep end, and I think it's 'cause of you Think I'm going off the deep end, who will save me then? Think I'm going off the deep end, there's no way I can win
6.
Forgive and forget, now, have you got what it takes? Got to live for today, anyway, 'cause we all make mistakes Forgive and forget, now, have I got what it takes? Got to live for today, anyway, 'cause I know I've made mistakes Yeah, we all make mistakes Forgive and forget, now, may take time to heal Don't give up, just give it time, then you'll know how you feel Forgive and forget, now, have we got what it takes? Got to live for today, anyway, 'cause we all make mistakes Yeah, we all make mistakes
7.
What have we done right? I can't see, why are we fighting this fight over the sea? How many mistakes must we make? How many promises must we break? But it's not gonna go away, no it's not gonna go away You say you speak your mind, with a held tongue How could you be so blind, but not wrong? You say it's coming clean, how do you know? You never say what you mean, nothing to show

Weatherman 03:07
I wish I could turn your rainy days to sun, so I could dry up all of your tears I wish I could turn your sunny days to rain, so I could wash away all of your fears What you need is someone to rely on, you need a weatherman What you need is someone to count on, you need a better man I wish I could forecast your future, babe, so I could be there for the good and the bad I wish I could forecast your feelings, babe, so I could know when you'd be happy or sad What you need is someone to rely on, you need a weatherman What you need is someone to count on, you need a better man I wish I could come on your TV set, so you could see me and just take me for granted I wish I could show you the Doppler effect, so you could see how all the words got so slanted What you need is someone to rely on, you need a weatherman What you need is someone to count on, you need a better man

Well I don't know what you expect of me, but I know what I expect to see If we try we'll make the best of things, and forget about the rest of things Well put it all behind you, put it all away, you know we're all behind you every step of the way You're good, you're fine, you've got it all in line, we're young, we're free, we ain't got money all we got is time Well take a look around you, what you'll find, are things to help you take it off your mind Take a break 'cause it'll do you good, spend some time alone, you know you should You're burning out but you've got so far to go, take my advice, you've got to take it slow In time you'll see it's not a race, my friend, 'cause after all, you decide what's at the end Take it easy, break it down, one, two, three, quit thinking big, start thinking logically You won't get nowhere if you're stuck in the past, you gotta go slow before you learn to go fast I'm still alive, and you're still right here with me, we've got a ways to go, how hard could it be? We may not always get the best of things, but we'll be happy with the rest of things

Nostalgia 02:20
It's been done a million times, just a movement in the hips Been sung a million more, just wind past the lips And every time it'll pass you by, it's the only thing you feel Somehow, in all the world, it's the only thing that's real Nostalgia Memories come flowing back, but you can't forget the past Look back, the feeling's there, but it's never gonna last Forgive, but don't forget, the feeling is intrinsic Act now, you're losing time, your outlook is forensic Nostalgia Been said a million times, it's all we understand Been taught a million more, but always second hand Every time it'll pass you by it's the only thing you feel Somehow, in all the world, it's the only thing that's real Nostalgia

Don't Go 02:45
Well we've been left sitting here, everyone else gone away, it's becoming so clear Why don't you stay for a while? You know we've got all the day, no one around here for miles Don't go, don't go, don't leave me so alone, and I'm begging you so, don't go, don't go Sitting up here on the roof, don't you just feel so alright? Won't you just tell me the truth? I could get lost in your life, let's take it slow for a while, why don't we crash here tonight? Don't go, don't go, don't leave me so alone, and I'm begging you so, don't go, don't go Now that our friends are all gone, I think I've got something to say, why don't you take me along? Oh, in the morning let's leave, I want to get far away, start a new life with me Let's go, let's go, they've left us so alone, and I'm begging you so, let's go, let's go

People often ask me do I get the blues, Always have to tell them I only live by one rule Well if I had to choose, I'd take the good news People often tell me they're never satisfied, and all I know to tell them is to take it in stride 'Cause if I had to choose, I take the good news Never been one to wonder about the popular views, 'cause if you're true to yourself, now, there ain't no way you can lose But if I had to choose, I'd take the good news

The Marathon 03:12
It's okay to get around, 'long as you know how to get down It's okay to love each other, 'long as you know how to love another It's okay to get down, 'long as you know how to get around It's okay to love another, 'long as you know how to love each other

about

The Trails Chapel Hill, North Carolina

"The stylings of Joe Morrison and Stacy Harden have changed the indie music scene for the better. With Morrison's creamy vocals and Harden's steady beats mixed with the simple yet mesmerizing solos of Gary Harden make for a wonderful musical experience. Expect their music to be mainstream in a matter of months."

Thanks, John Goldbaum
