I was walking with your left hand in my back pocket
And I stared at the sky while you kissed me
And you were running away, away from everything
And I stayed behind so you'd miss me

And while these words may sound so sweet
I could care less about you, care less about you
And how I love the sound of you walking away
And I can see clearer and I'm getting closer
To finding out just who I am without you in the way
So hold me, but only for today

Despite my best ambitions
I get into the worst situations
But here I am crystal clean

And all the nights are lonely
The words I say to you are phony
Because there's nothing left to say

And though you say you can't live without me
And every single night you think about me
I could care less about you, care less about you
And how I love the sound of you walking away
And I can see clearer and I'm getting closer
To finding out just who I am without you in the way
So hold me, but only for today
