I am not the kind of girl who should be rudely barging in on a white veil ocassion
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 pastells
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
Burst in and say
Don't say yes runaway 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 that I was uninvited by your lovely bride-to-be
She floats down the aisle like a pagent queen
But I know you wish it was me
You wish it was me
Don't you
Don't say yes runaway 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 runaway 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
I hear the preacher say
Speak now or forever hold your peace“
Theres the silence
Theres my last chance
I stand up with shaky hands
All eyes on me
Horrified looks from everyone in the room
But I'm only lookin' at you
I am not the kind of girl who should be rudely barging in on a white veil ocassion
But you are not the kind of boy who should be marrying the wrong girl
Don't say yes runaway 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
