Lyrics of More Than Just the Spare (Outtake) by Kristen Anderson-Lopez & Robert Lopez, Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell & Christophe Beck
There was an early draft
That was all about the heir and the spare
Elsa being the heir
And Anna being the overlooked, not-needed spare
We wrote this as her big introductory song
And even though it ultimately got cut
It was really useful
In helping us tap into Anna′s character
Spare?
Am I really just the spare?
I'm not part of the town, not born to be queen
Just somebody hopelessly in-between
She′s the scholar, athlete, poet
I'm the screw up, don't I know it
But then who could ever compare?
Of course they′re gonna think I′m just the spare
Well, I won't care
So I′m the extra button on a coat
In case another one comes loose
But if I have to be a button
Why can't I be a button that′s of use?
Oops
I may lack style and I may lack grace
And once in a while I'll fall on my face
But this little button deserves a place in the sky
This button wants to fly
Wait! Buttons can′t fly, that doesn't make any sense
So I'm a rusty horseshoe hanging up
Over somebody′s old barn door
And I′ll be hanging there forever
Just wishing the horse had one leg more
And maybe I can't be the perfect one
And maybe I err on the side of fun
But horseshoes need a chance to run somewhere
This horseshoe is more than just a spare
Someday I′ll find my thing
The thing that's all my own
That thing that makes me part of something
Not just all alone
If only all these feelings I have in my heart
Could mean something to someone
How I′d love to play that part
So I'm just a second born sister
Who most of the town ignores
Like a button, like a horseshoe
Like a girl who′s bad at metaphors
Maybe I don't have a magic touch
And maybe I don't have a talent as such
Just this heart with much, too much to share
So I′ll never be the heir
But I′m more than just the spare
Sorry
Writer(s): Kristen Jane Anderson, Robert Joseph Lopez
