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
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
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
