The National – Anyone's Ghost 0

You say you'll stay home
Alone with the flu
And find out from friends
But that wasn't true
Go out at night with your headphones on again
Walk through the Manhattan valleys of the dead

Didn't want to be your ghost
Didn't want to be anyone's ghost
Didn't want to be your ghost
Didn't want to be anyone's ghost

But I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else

Said I came close
As anyone's come
To living underwater
For more than a month.
You said it was not inside my heart,
It was.
You said it should tear a kid apart,
It does.

Didn't want to be your ghost
Didn't want to be anyone's ghost
Didn't want to be your ghost
Didn't want to be anyone's ghost

But I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else

I had a hole in the middle
Where the lightning went through
I told my friends not to worry
I had a hole in the middle
Someone's sideshow to do
I told my friends not to worry

Didn't want to be your ghost
Didn't want to be anyone's ghost
Didn't want to be your ghost
Didn't want to be anyone's ghost
