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
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 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
