Al's War

(album: Hello Rockview - 1998)

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.
Yea, 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's
like giving up.
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 the last few years
were only a waste of time (only a waste of time)
Yes, it was always a compromise,
of what he always felt inside.
His declaration,
under the orange street light.

And sometimes I think,
I'm the only one who feels
like going nowhere's
like giving up.
Sometimes I think,
I'm the only one who feels like going.
Yeah-ah.

He was the one,
who always did the right things.
He was the one who would always
listen to everything they say.
But today, he's never going back. (Woah-oh-oh)

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's
like giving up.
Sometimes I think,
I'm the only one who feels
like going nowhere's
like giving up.
Woah-oh,
like giving up.
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
like giving up.
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm not giving up.
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
