kristen anderson-lopez - More Than Just The Spare
spare...? am i really just the spare?
i’m not part of the town, not born to be queen
just somebody hopelessly inbetween
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?
i may lack style and i may lack grace
and once in a while i might fall on my face
but this little button deserves a place in the sky
this button wants to fly
wait, buttons can’t fly,
it 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
a thing that’s on my own
that thing that makes me part of something
not just all alone
if only all this feeling i have in my heart
could mean something to someone,
how i’d love to play that part
so i’m just the 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 too share
so i’ll never be the heir,
but i’m more than just a spare
