Al's War

[Verse 1]

Al said goodbye to his mom and dad for the first time in his life

Tonight he left the house and walked 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

[Chorus]

And sometimes I think, "Am I the only one

Who feels like going nowhere is like giving up?"

Sometimes I think I'm the only one who feels like going

[Verse 2]

Al said to me a few days ago

That he just thought for the first time in his life

He feels that the last few years were only a waste of time

Yes, it was always a compromise of what he always felt inside

His declaration under the orange street light

[Chorus]

And sometimes I think, "Am I the only one

Who feels like going nowhere is like giving up?"

Sometimes I think I'm the only one who feels like going

[Bridge]

Yeah, 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

[Outro]

Sometimes I think, "Am I the only one

Who feels like going nowhere is like giving up?"

Sometimes I think I'm the only one

Who feels like going nowhere is like giving up

Whoa, like giving up

Whoa, like giving up

Whoa, like giving up

Whoa, I'm not giving up

Whoa
