about

As humans, I think we all struggle with living in the moment. We are too quick to fill our day with dreams of the future or hauntings from the past instead of being aware of what is going on “right now”. In the song, penny pinching is a metaphor for clenching on to those memories. There is a fierce internal battle within the song. When writing it, I wanted to show the importance of finding a balance between savoring the moments in life but also living in the present.

lyrics

I got a cheap car, pennies in a mason jar
Saving up, sippin’ on life from one cup
I got to savor this taste of youth
In my mouth

I got a small guitar, playing in a crowded bar
Living right, Sunday hymns I recite
Don’t you know, life doesn’t go slow
So breathe in the moment

Oh, I’m a penny pincher
I’m a penny pincher
Let the present linger on

Oh, I’m a penny pincher
I’m a penny pincher
Let the present linger on

I got friendships, love at my fingertips
Caring for those walking through my door
Hold on before my money’s gone,
before a case of fraud

I got a fine roof over my head
I’m growing fast, like a tornado check the forecast
There’s a recall, on my soul, and I’m pressured to
change

Oh, I’m a penny pincher
I’m a penny pincher
Let the present linger on

Oh, I’m a penny pincher
I’m a penny pincher
Let the present linger on

Be careful what you throw in the Trevi fountain
I’m penny pinching, I’m penny pinching X3

Penny pincher, yeah
I’m a penny pincher
I’m a penny pincher
Let the present linger on

I’m a penny pincher
I’m a penny pincher
I’m a penny pincher
