For Today Lyrics

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
