Anyone's Ghost

Anyone's Ghost - The National

Say you stay at 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

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 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 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
