Mission Blvd Lyrics by Côtier

Inferno

2017

[Intro]
And the fire's out
Not sure why it even started
But I'm headed back
To the road that I've departed
And it always seemed so clear when I was driving off the road
But now I know
That it's better to have loved and lost
And lost it all again
And it's better to have no one than
To always see the end
And there's only so much I can take
And times to be broken
After so much time of bending
I might snap and just give in
To these ... voices

(But look at all the opportunity that I blew)
(That I blew)

[Verse 1]
And I've lost myself
Wandering out in the dark
Yeah, the desert swept me up and
Oh, it's drying out my heart

See, I've lost myself
Looking for a place to stay
And I know it's all my fault
I didn't need a grand escape

And I've been searching for years
To find what it is I need
Because one moment I'm fine
The next I'm falling to my knees

But do I deserve the punishment for
Being too naive?
To realize I wasn't ready to just
Jump into the sea

[Chorus]
Youth is a terrible thing to waste
But mine has really gone up into flames
And how did I end up so misplaced
To be here?

[Verse 2]
And I found myself
Driving Mission Blvd
Crying in my car and asking
How in hell I got this far

And I found myself
Staring deep into the sea
Wondering if there is really
Anything left here for me

Cause I don't feel that I've done too much
And I don't feel I can
And maybe I'm just missing something that
I can't understand

And I've been learning to ignore the
Crescendos in my head
But it feels like I've been walking ruts
And I'll keep playing dead, oh

[Chorus]
Youth is a terrible thing to waste
But mine has really gone up into flames
And how did I end up so misplaced
To be here?
To be here

[Bridge]
And it's getting harder to breathe
Cause it's all coming in on me
Wish I could turn back the clock or just make it all stop
To think

[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I'm sick of staying up all night
And waiting for the truth
And I hear the answers like they're whispers
In another room
But I fear what's on the other side
And oh, the price I'll pay
So, I'm beggin' for a single night
Where I don't have to stay here

[Chorus]
Oh, youth is a terrible thing to waste
But mine has really gone up into flames
And how did I end up so misplaced
To be here?

[Post-Chorus]
Cause I'm sick of standing on the edge
And waiting for a call
And I might just end up jumping off
But it'd be worth the fall
Cause it never does me any good
To bring myself to stay
To just sit in quiet
Pretend I'm not counting down the days

[Outro]
Please don't make me stay
I can't stay here
