Dear Life Lyrics

Dear Life, I would never call you a bitch
All my miseries have made me rich
Dear Life, you know I love you secretly even when you’re talking dirty to me
And I’m not only saying this cause I’m drunk (though I am)
I should tell you more often if I think that I can
I really mean it, I really mean it
I really really mean it tonight
Take me through these avenues and boulevards
My rushing blood is a racing car tonight
I felt so high on life
These endless streets, my tired feet
Are gonna get us far from wherever we are tonight
It felt so close tonight
Dear Life, you felt so close tonight
From the airplane window the cities far below
Look like glowing vomits in the snow
These sails will bring me where the wind is gonna blow
Where we’ll go don’t tell me cause I don’t wanna know
Dear Life, you felt so close tonight

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
