The National
Anyone s Ghost
High Violet
Say you stayed home alone with the flu
Find out from friends that wasn t true
Go out at night with your headphones on again
And 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
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
You said I came close
As anyone s come
To live underwater
For more than a month
You said it was night 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 it
Told my friends not to worry
I had a hole in the middle someone s sideshow wouldn t do it
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
