Al said goodbye to his mam and dad For the first time in his life Tonight 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 juat 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
Al said to me a few days Ago that he just Thought for the first time in his life He feels the last 10 years were only A waste of time and that it was Only a compromise of what he Always felt inside His declaration of independence said to me Under the orange street lights
He was the one who always Did the right thing He was the one that listened to Everything they'd say But today he's never going back
