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
