I am not the kind of girl

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’
