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?
