Aching, longing
Save all your hands for me
'Cause I won't share them
With anything, anyone else
I grew from you
Branches from a dying tree
But I could save you
If only you looked for me
You can break me
I'm a piggy bank on the floor
Watch all my spare change
Roll out the door
Watch all my spare change
Roll across the floor
Watching me through
Your glass door...
Save your smile for
Everybody else you see
'Cause I don't want the
One that you make for me
You can break me
I'm a piggy bank on the floor
Watch all my spare change
Roll out the door
Watch all my spare change
Roll cross the floor
Watching me through
Your glass door...
Your door...
The more that I try
The more that you pry
Yourself away...
When we interpret the meaning being expressed, Ingrid Michaelson's 'Spare Change' is an illustration of unquenched desire and unreturned affection that is nicely depicted in the very metaphor of the person being a piggy bank with spare change rolling away. The song is a confession of giving one's all to a person who is not at all appreciative, which results in the giver feeling shattered and worthless even though he/she has made the effort to reach him/her. The spare change lyrics mainly focus on heartbreak, despair, angst, reflection, and solitude. The song, however, in this very coexistence of human emotions, emphasizes the role of love in suffering and longing, vulnerability and emotional pain, and unrequited love. The lyrics reflect the themes of yearning and emotional vulnerability which might not be very appropriate for preschoolers. There are no overt mentions of violence, sex, or drug usage, however, the emotional weight and intricacy of the themes imply that parental guidance might be advisable. ✔️
