Album: Fashionably Late (2009)

Why Didn't I

I should have 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 froze, she got away

It could have been me and you together
Walking in the rain
Could have 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 an angel by my side

I start 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 caf
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

Could have been me and you together
Walking in the rain
We could have 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 an 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"
Then we walked around
And we got to know each other
Very well, that fall, oh

And now it's me and you together
Walking in the rain {the rain}
And now we're making out {making out}
And making plans to run away
{Cause I was so} Cause I was so alone outside
And I really wanna tell her
Everything that I am 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?
