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 the 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 realize that life is gonna be otherwise Babe, I wish it was otherwise Babe, I wish it was otherwise
