Speak Now - Taylor Swift

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 her 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 back door.
Don't wait, or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
and they said speak now.

Fond 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.
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
your time is running out
and they said speak now.

Ooooh, ooooh.

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 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.

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