More Than Just the Spare (Outtake)
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
- Kristen Anderson-Lopez
Lyrics:
[Music]
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'm air at 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 metaphores
Maybe I don't have a magic touch
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
