Al's War - Less Than Jake

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
