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 bridesmade

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 dead march

And i am hiding in the curtains

It seems that i was uninvited by your lovely bride to be

She floats down the aisie like a pageant queen

But i know you wish it was me

You wish it was me (dont you)

Dont 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 change

I stand up with shaking hands all eyes on me

Horrified looks from everyone in the room

But i'm only looking at you

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
