Dear Life

Dear life

For dear life

Spinning head in a stranger's bed has never really been her style

But she doesn't care, she just needs somewhere to lay down for awhile

'Cause she can't go home and she can't be alone

There's no place in this world

But she can tune it out by thinkin' about that happy little girl, yeah

And now she's hangin' on

For dear life, dear life has got her hangin' on

For dear life, dear life, yeah, yeah

For dear life, dear life has got her hangin' on

For dear life

For dear life

He got back from a tour in Iraq and he was lucky to be alive

But he wasn't the same and the nightmares came, and he lost his 9 to 5

His friends all said he wasn't right in the head

And he just couldn't cope anymore

Left his wife and his kid, now he's off the grid fighting a different war

Ooh, barely hangin' on

For dear life, dear life has got him hangin' on

For dear life, dear life, dear life

For dear life, dear life has got him hangin' on

Somedays it comes over me and I can barely breathe

All this beauty pressin' down on me, I don't ever want to leave

(It's got me hangin' on)

To dear life, dear life, got me hangin' on

To dear life, dear life, life, dear

To dear life, dear life has got me hangin' on

To dear life, dear life, oh yeah

For dear life, dear life, got me hangin' on

To dear life, dear life, dear life, yeah

To dear life, dear life, dear life
