Q&A
Why Didn't I? Lyrics
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
Runnin' 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
She got away
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 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
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 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
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
And 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 and 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 have, I should have
I should have, I should have
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?
Runnin' 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
She got away
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 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
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
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
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 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
And I felt like I could die
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
Walking in the rain
And now we're making out
And making plans to run away
And 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 and 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 have, I should have
I should have, I should have

I love Honor Society!
This song is the story of a girl and a boy who go to the same college/university. He notices her for the first time and instantly feels something for her, but as he was working up the nerve to talk to her she got away. He starts imagining what life could have been like with her, and asks himself "why didn't I". Everything else is pretty much narrated :) Of course, it ends with them getting pretty cozy in the fall ;)
