If Things Could Be Different - Mick Jagger

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
