Al's War
Al said goodbye to his
Mom and dad for the first time in his life
Tonight he left the house
And walked out to the waiting car outside
And somehow he thought they'd never understand
That nothing lasts
And he just knows that time
Is just spinning by
And life is passing him by so fast
And sometimes I think
I'm the only one
Who feels like going nowhere
Is like giving up
And sometimes I think
I'm the only one
Who feels like going
Al said to me a few days ago
That he just thought for the first time in his life
He feels that last few years
Were only a waste of time
Only a waste of time
And that it was always a compromise
Of what he always felt inside
His declaration
Under the orange street lights
And sometimes I think
I'm the only one
Who feels like going nowhere
Is like giving up
And sometimes I think
I'm the only one
Who feels like going
He was the one
Who always did
The right things
He was the one who would always listen to everything they'd say
But today
He's never going back
And nobody said that there would be days like these
There’d be days like these
There’d be days
And sometimes I think
I'm the only one
Who feels like going nowhere
Is like giving up
And sometimes I think
I'm the only one
Who feels like going nowhere
Is like giving up
Like giving up
Like giving up
I’m not giving up
