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 could’ve been me and you together walking in the rain.
We could’ve 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 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.
It could’ve been me and you together walking in the rain.
We could’ve 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.’
Then 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 angel by my side. Why didn’t I, didn’t I?
I had angel by my side. Why didn’t I, didn’t I?
Prevod na srpski
Zašto nisam
Trebao sam poslušati onaj glasić u svojoj glavi
Kada sam je video u čitaonici kako kuca na računaru
Bilo je mnogo ljudi ali svejedno sam imao osećaj kao da smo sami
Onda sam počeo da gubim živce… zašto mi toliko treba?
Milion pitanja vrzmalo mi se po glavi: Da li je usamljena?
Da li je umorna? Ima li nekoga? U čemu spava?
Ali samo sam stajao tamo, zaleđen, i ona je otišla.
To smo mogli biti ti i ja, zajedno na kiši
Mogli smo se maziti i praviti planove za bekstvo.
Ali evo ja sam sasvim sam, napolju
A zaista bih voleo da sam joj rekao kako sve što sam osećao
Imao sam anđela kraj sebe. Zašto nisam, zašto nisam?
Imao sam anđela kraj sebe.
Počeo sam da se raspitujem da li iko zna kako se ona zove
Jedna njena drugarica mi je rekla da misli da je ona opet sama.
To je sve što mi je trebalo da bih se i dalje nadao.
Pretražio sam dom, i kafeteriju, i perionicu, i park i put
A onda, jednog sudbonosnog dana, sam je video na vrhu stepeništa,
Pa skupio hrabrost, krenuo prema njoj.
I dok sam išao, video sam drugog tipa sa rukom u njenoj kosi
Pretpostavljam da sam zakasnio.
To smo mogli biti ti i ja, zajedno na kiši
Mogli smo se maziti i praviti planove za bekstvo.
Ali evo ja sam sasvim sam, napolju
A zaista bih voleo da sam joj rekao kako sve što sam osećao
Imao sam anđela kraj sebe. Zašto nisam, zašto nisam?
Imao sam anđela kraj sebe. I imao sam osećaj da ću umreti
Onda se ona okrenula, prišla mi
Rekla ‘Primetila sam da si me primetio.’
Ja sam rekao ‘Ko je taj tip?’
Ona je rekla ‘Samo drug, a pitala sam se gde si’
Onda smo se šetali
I jako smo se dobro upoznali te jeseni.
I sada ti i ja zajedno šetamo na kiši
I sada se mazimo i pravimo planove za bekstvo
Jer, ja sam bio tako sam, napolju
A zaista želim da joj kažem sve što sam osećao
Imao sam anđela kraj sebe. Zašto nisam, zašto nisam?
Imao sam anđela kraj sebe. Zašto nisam, zašto nisam?
Imao sam anđela kraj sebe. Zašto nisam, zašto nisam?
