Didn’t want to be your ghostDidn’t want to be anyone’s ghost
But I don’t want anybody elseI don’t want anybody elseYou said I came closeAs anyone’s comeTo live underwaterFor more than a monthYou said it was night inside my heart, it wasYou said it should tear a kid apart, it does

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
