Why Didn't I

Why didn't I, didn't I?

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

I should've, I should've

I should've, I should've

I should've 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 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 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 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 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"

So 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

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 should've, I should've

I should've, I should've, I should've
