Why didn't I, didn't I?

Why didn't I, didn't, didn't, didn't I?

I should've, I should've

I should've, I should've



I shoulda listened to that

Little voice inside my head

When I saw her in the study

Typing on her Mac



The place was packed

But I still felt like we were all alone

Then I started to lose my nerve

Why am I taking so long?



I had a million questions

Running up inside my head

Is she lonely, is she tired

Does she got a man?

What does she wear in bed?

But I just stood there

Frozen and she got away



It coulda been me and you

Together walking in the rain

We coulda been making out

And making plans to run away

But here I am all alone outside

And I really wish I told her everything

That I was feeling inside



I had an angel by my side

Why didn't I, didn't I?

I had angel by my side



I started to ask around

If anyone might know her name

A friend of hers told me

That she thought she was single again



That's all the info

That I needed to keep hope alive

I searched the dorm and the cafe

And the laundromat and the park and ride



Then one fateful day I saw her

At the top of the stairs

So I got up my courage

Started walking over there

And as I did I saw another guy

With his hand in her hair

I guess, I was too late



It coulda been me and you

Together walking in the rain

We coulda been making out

And making plans to run away

But here I am all alone outside

And I really wish I told her everything

That I was feeling inside



I had an angel by my side

Why didn't I, didn't I?

I had angel by my side

And I felt like I could die



Then she turned around

She walked over to me

She said, "I noticed you noticing me"

I said, "Who's the guy"



She said, "Just a friend

And I've been wondering where you've been"

And we walked around

And we got to know each other very well that fall



And now it's me and you

Together walking in the rain

And now we're making out

And making plans to run away

'Cause I was so alone outside and

I really wanna tell her everything

That I was feeling inside



I had an angel by my side

Why didn't I, didn't I?

I had an angel by my side

Why didn't I, didn't I?



I had an angel by my side

Why didn't I, didn't I?

Why didn't I, why didn't I?

Why didn't I, why didn't I?
