Otherwise

Otherwise we’d be dancing on a beach In the starlight with a margarita each Otherwise we’d be riding on a bus Into nowhere babe, I wish it was Otherwise Not barely getting through another night With the curtains drawn to keep us from Seeing other people’s lives Otherwise we’d be rolling in the aisles And kids would be rolling their eyes Otherwise We’re holding on to the lifeboat’s sides And the only thing keeping us afloat Is to dream what might have been otherwise... Otherwise I’d be leaving you alone Not watching you try to push the blood back in a stone Otherwise we’d walk along the sea Not realise that life is going to be otherwise Babe, I wish it was otherwise. --- Otherwise - Del Amitri
