How Can...? (based on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer") - Spotify Version

+ Show full styles

(Verse 1 - wistful)
When half the boys I meet at night
End up dusted and smoke in
This Cali girl's REAL mystic birthright?
Always having her heart broke in

(Verse 2 - angry, defiant)
I save the world a lot, that’s true
But then what’s left for me?
A Slayer? With a life? Taboo! 
She has a destiny...

(Chorus - starts off big, then cuts off)
How can the thing I’m designed to hunt
Be the thing I...
...anyway, no.
I need to push all that aside 
I’ve got to play my role

(Verse 3 - resigned)
What's the point in lying to my heart?
No matter if it’s painful
Admitting the truth would be a start
My thoughts are all of Angel

(Verse 4 - questioning)
He says he has a soul - a miracle?
But given to him as a punishment?
What did he do that was so terrible?
And does he truly even repent?

(Chorus - big, the heart of the song)
How can the thing-
How COULD the thing-
Why MUST the thing I’m designed to hunt
Be the thing I want the most?
No wonder I'm so damn morose
My stress source has been diagnosed
Could the stakes BE more grandiose???
(wait, was "stakes" a pun? ew - gross)

(Verse 5 - desperate, pleading)
In these silly fantasies I'm immersed
Gotta put him out of mind 
What matters is my duty, first
I’m the Slayer. 
I save mankind.

(Verse 6 - angry again, then defiant again)
I admit it! He's handsome isn't he?
I wanna see more of him
My life was never Disney
More like the Brothers Grimm

(Chorus - big, light-hearted)
How can the thing I’m designed to hunt
Be the thing to give me pangs?
I’ve been to his place, seen his true face
Had naughty thoughts about his fangs

(Verse 7 - unsure of herself)
I can’t betray this calling
One girl in all the - yadda yadda...
...What am I meant to do? Give in?
Risk the whole enchilada?

(Verse 8 - determined, but sad)
I’ll set my jaw, cease my ravings
Put his dreamy- (No! Not dreamy!)
His AVERAGELY ATTRACTIVE face out of my mind
It’s not like the world won’t need saving
It’s not like I can leave it behind

(Outro - quiet, wistful, sad)
How can he be the one for me? 
Like Hepburn and Rex Harrison?
Romeo and Juliet - ha!
They had it easy 
By comparison...
