If Things Could Be Different

If things had been different If only you'd give one more twist of the key If things would be different A change in the numbers If only that message could just be retrieved If things would be different If life could be permanent You'd be a goddess carved on a frieze And if things could be different You would be sharing your whole life with me I saw it all, I saw it from afar I saw it all, I saw it in the stars I saw it all, I saw it much too late Coincidence and fate If things had been different If only your finger had not pushed delete I would not be walking down Down this lonely street 'Cause if things had been different If only my whole life could be just re-dreamed 'Cause I was born way too soon Born on the other side of the seas And if things had been different We'd spend the Fourth of July on the beach And if things had been different All of your children would look just like me I saw it all, I saw it from afar I saw it all, I saw it in the stars I saw it all, I saw it much too late I saw it all, the fingerprints of fate La la la, la la la da da La la la, la da da da da da da da da da I saw it all, I saw it much too late I saw it all, coincidence and fate
