Lyrics Anyone's Ghost - The National

Anyone's Ghost

Say you stayed 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 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
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
