Anyone's Ghost Songtext
von The National

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 wanna be your ghost
Didn′t wanna be anyone's ghost
Didn't wanna be your ghost
Didn′t wanna 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 wanna be your ghost
Didn't wanna be anyone′s ghost
Didn't wanna be your ghost
Didn't wanna 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 wanna be your ghost
Didn't wanna be anyone's ghost
Didn′t wanna be your ghost
Didn′t wanna be anyone's ghost
