Lyrics: The National. High Violet. Anyone's Ghost.

:
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
