lyrics

Outside are the trees and the grass where I played as a little kid
Outside are the yards and the bushes where a thousand baseballs are hid
Outside is the child that I was, that I wish had known a little more than he did -
And all I wanna do
Is stay here a little longer with you.

Outside there is progress being made, and it’s made of steel and glass
Outside there is change upon change, and things are changing too fast
Outside those who aren’t old enough to know are saying this too shall pass -
And all I wanna do
Is stay here a little longer with you.

Outside there are roads to be driven
Stretching mile after mile
But outside those roads and those highways
Are gonna have to wait a little while

‘Cos outside are the noises and the promise and the complications of life
Outside there is darkness but for those moments that shine impossibly bright
Inside all I wanna do is tell you about all the times that you were right -
And all I wanna do
Is stay here a little longer with you.

Outside are the signs and the reminders of all the things you used to love
Outside are the moon and the stars and the heavy skies that hang above
Outside are the dreams and all the things that you ever helped me dream of -
And all I wanna do
Is stay here a little longer with you.

Scott Stein Brooklyn, New York

Brooklyn pianist/songwriter Scott Stein takes a moodier turn on his newest EP Uphill; synthesizers swirl and backwards guitars fade in and out like ghosts as Stein's plainspoken vocals take on grief, anxiety, loss and their aftermath. There's some joy too, even if it is hard-earned. Melodies and sly musicianship still form the songs' backbone. Think Ben Folds and Sting channeling Big Star's Third. ... more
