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 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”

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 I was uninvited by your lovely bride to be
She floats down the isle 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”

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 lookin’ 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 marryin’ 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
“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”
