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
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 from the stars
I saw it all, I saw it much too late
I saw it all, the fingerprints of fate
