Speak Now

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 her 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 your out of the church at the back door 
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 
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 
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 your out of the church at the back door 
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 your out of the church at the back door 
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 a silence, there's my last chance, 
I stand up with shaky 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 your out of the church at the back door 
Don't wait, or say a single vow, 
You need to hear me out, 
And they said speak now 

And you'll say "let's run away now, 
I'll meet when I'm out of my tux at the back door 
Baby, I didn't say my vows, 
I'm so glad you were around 
When they said speak now"
