Speak Now

Lyrics

 * 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 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
 * 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
 * Your time is running out
 * And they said speak now


 * Oh, 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 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
 * They said speak now
 * And you 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
