Otherwise
Justin Currie
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.
