Speak Now

I am not the kind of girl
Who should be rudely bargin’ 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’d 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 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 a song
that sounds like a death march
And I am hiding in the curtains
It seems like 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 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 you’re out
of the church at the back door.
Don’t wait or say a single vow.
You’re time is running out
and they said speak now.

Oooooh, la la la, oh
Oooooh, la la la, oh

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 shaky hands
All eyes on me
horrified looks from everyone in the room
But I’m looking at you.

I am not the kind of girl,
Who should be rudely bargin’ 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 back door.
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 back door
Hey hey, I didn’t say my vow
So glad you were around
when they said speak now.
