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
