[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
