Inch By Inch 04:47
Color me in however you like It may be hard to stay in my shifting lines And just so you know My love for you is the color yellow I can't breathe in I'd savor scents that linger on your face I can't exhale I'd only sigh and give myself away So feature by feature Inch by Inch Hair by hair, pore by pore, freckle by freckle Please memorize my face Just in case Isn't it strange How we behave these days I call your name In one thousand different ways So hold my hand With great awareness Finger by finger, nail by nail, knuckle by knuckle Because you never know When we no more have these hands to hold Please inhale these minutes And hold it in, Swish it around To savor the love That we found Once upon a time I Breathed warm rivulets down your spine All I have left are Patterns on cheekbones once buried in your chest So let's ration out All the amounts Kiss by kiss, laugh by laugh, touch by touch I won't use up too much I'll save them all so we have enough And just so you know My love for you is the color yellow

Much Longer 03:23
I am older than an hour ago How I've aged And I am more sleepy than this morning How tired I've grown So I don't want to wait Much Longer Time is sliding through my fingertips I cant grab hold And time is running in every direction Except in mine So I don't want to wait Much longer We are wiser than about this time (than about this time) Last year We are better people Than before So we deserve not to wait Much longer for love

It's been a day I wonder if you miss me I'm willing to bet a dollar that you do And we held hands but only for a second I let go cuz it seemed like the right thing to do It's been a week I wonder where you miss me On the streets of Brooklyn at 4 am Cuz then one time we both went to the ocean You looked at me and I looked straight ahead It's been a month I wonder when you miss me Does it normally happen on a Tuesday night Cuz then one time you called me from the bathroom And I'm pretty sure that's love - at least of some kind It's been a while I wonder if you miss me I can always give your dollar back If Tuesday nights are nothing special If the streets of Brooklyn have been painted black

Are you curious what I ate for breakfast Do you wonder what I did last night I did not post on Facebook this time Did you hear I've got a brand new album out Pretty sure it's gonna wow them all But I care only if I wow you It's true And what shirt did you decide to wear today Are you scruffy or did you shave Either way I bet you're looking ok But you change your look like you change your women Always want a new beginning I only wanted the middle part Screw the start And babe I know that it's been a while But I would die to see you smile One more time at something silly I've done And I look for you in subway cars On the street sometimes in bars But I think you really might be gone Oh, gone I'm actually quite ok And there's nothing I need to say And there's nothing you need to do Just know that sometimes I still think of you I thought I saw you passing by I almost ran out to come and say hi But then what We'd both say hi and how are you Ad what have you been up to And then we'd have to say goodbye For the millionth time The millionth time One last time

What's She Got (free) 01:07
What's she got that I don't got Except bigger boobs A few inches to my height And nothing to lose What's she got to give that I don't got to give Except a fearless heart And beautifully sculpted Open arms And though it hurt when you pushed me aside I didn't mind I didn't mind I didn't mind It helped to bring me back back back Back to life What's she got that I don't got Well, that is you But its ok I will something or someone else to do do do do....

Give more to homeless people, smoke 2 times a day Legalize bread make love not war Make yourself, or be made Love one another Drink lots of holy water Isaac Newton practiced alchemy... on your mother John H is a cheater and a liar and a thief Life is not a dream, beware Zartan was here, or was he? Looking for a discreet encounter Call Patrick - 917-848-2228 When I eat Mexican food it burns when I make poo You have no idea what I'm going to do to you I like it when you call me Fensworth At least your not on fire Walrus revolution, Ana Peru Papa boom Orville and Wilbur Wright were bicycle salesmen Say goodbye or hello To the contents of your stomach Taco taco goose Bovine spongiform, Black orange white Drop anchovies paper obsolete imitation crabmeat The Mexican guy with glasses is really hot I'd do him Hey man flock of seagulls they just called and want their hair back Employees must wash hands Jesus' second coming real men wear Stetson Cars out of Manhattan If there's someone that you want Go out there and tell them I was born alive isn't that punishment enough? Can one be happy without passion make fun of people all the time everything which rises must converge if it looks like a duck it's a fucking duck roses are red, fuck all the rest I wish you were dead I am a stupid bog of poison frogs Tell someone you love them you have no chance So don't even try one in the jack, two in the daniels Coffee makes you shit I came all the way over here to write something on the wall And you came all the way over here to read it Emancipate yourself from mental slavery The teeth run the show in my mouth Raise your hand if you've ever fucked a Professor Bush blows hard, but Cheney shoots people in the face I'll do anything for attention so I've written down my myspace...... dot com slash thedebbiemiller

about

Debbie Miller Seattle, Washington

Seattle songwriter Debbie Miller is like a tantalizing book of short stories. There are few musicians who work as diligently as she to be as narratively engaging. Her lyrics, like tightrope walkers, rollick on the taught wire of song, guiltlessly and pointedly inspiring listeners who crave more of their spectacle. Miller has played prominent Northwest festivals like Timbrrr! and Upstream. ... more
