Other songs like this one:
Closing Time - Semisonic
Rock ballad with mid-tempo piano intro. Starts similar to Green Day "Good Riddance" with more energetic heavy guitar sounds for most of the song. Similar to Anchors Aweigh in that the songs feel very accepting the paths that life takes us on - that leaving is a fact of life.
