Speak Now

I am not the kind of girl

Who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion

But you are not the kind of boy

Who should be marrying the wrong girl

I sneak in and see your friends

And her snotty little family all dressed in pastel

And she is yelling at a bridesmaid

Somewhere back inside a room

Wearing a gown shaped like a pastry

This.. is.. surely not what you thought it would be

I.. lose myself in a daydream

Where I stand and say

Don't say yes, run away now

I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the backdoor

Don't wait or say a single vow

You need to hear me out and they said speak now

Fun gestures are exchanged

And the organ starts to play a song that sounds like a death march

And I am hiding in the curtains

It seems that I was uninvited by your lovely bride-to-be

She.. floats down the aisle like a pageant queen

But I.. know.. you wish it was me

You wish it was me don't you?

Don't say yes, run away now

I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the backdoor

Don't wait or say a single vow

You need to hear me out and they said speak now

Don't say yes, run away now

I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the backdoor

Don't wait or say a single vow

Your time is running out and they said speak now

I hear the preacher say speak now or forever hold your peace

There's the silence, there's my last chance

I stand up with shaking hands, all eyes on me

Horrified looks from everyone in the room

But I'm only looking at you

I am not the kind of girl

Who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion

But you are not the kind of boy

Who should be marrying the wrong girl

So don't say yes, run away now

I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the backdoor

Don't wait or say a single vow

You need to hear me out and they said speak now

And you say lets run away now

I'll meet you when I'm out of my tux at the backdoor

Baby I didn't say my vows

So glad you were around

When they said 'Speak now'
