Al's War Less Than Jake

Al said goodbye to his mam 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
That feels like going nowhere is like giving up
sometimes I think I'm the only one
That feels like going

Al said to me a few days
Ago that he just
Thought for the first time in his life
He feels the last few years were 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
That feels like going nowhere is like giving up
sometimes I think I'm the only one
That feels like going


He was the one who always
Did the right thing
He was the one who always listened 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
That feels like going nowhere is like giving up
sometimes I think I'm the only one
That feels like going nowhere is like giving up
whoa,like giving up,whoa,like giving up,whoa
im not giving up,whoa
