Dear life, I hope you know
I've loved you every mile down this road
Had my share of hits and misses
Tryin' to keep between the ditches
Dear life, I hope you know

Dear life, what's your plan?
Is where I'm suppose to be, right where I am?
If it is, then I ain't leavin'
If it ain't, I'll keep on dreamin'
Dear life, what's your plan?

Now you're flying by too fast
I'll fight to make you last
Beggin' on you please, just slow down
You're scaring me to death
I'm tryin' to catch my breath
Don't wanna let you go
I'm hangin' on for dear life
Oh, oh dear life
Hangin' on for dear life
Oh, oh dear life

Dear life, how's it look
When you read the next few pages of my book
Am I with the ones I love
Down here or up above
Dear life, how's it look

Now you're flying by too fast
I'll fight to make you last
Beggin' on you please, just slow down
You're scaring me to death
I'm tryin' to catch my breath
Don't wanna let you go
I'm hangin' on for dear life
Oh, oh dear life
Hangin' on for dear life
Oh, oh dear life

I wanna leave my mark
Love till it breaks my heart
Live so loud that my forever
Echoes in the dark
I wanna leave my mark
Love till it breaks my heart
Live so loud that my forever
Echoes in the dark

You're flying by too fast
I'll fight to make you last
Beggin' on you please, just slow down
You're scaring me to death
I'm tryin' to catch my breath
Don't wanna let you go
I'm hangin' on for dear life
Oh, oh dear life
Hangin' on for dear life
Oh, oh dear life
