Speak Now (Vocal Version)

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 backdoor
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 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 backdoor
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 backdoor
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 the 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 backdoor
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 when I'm out of my tux at the backdoor
Baby I didn't say my vows,
So glad you were around
When they said 'Speak now'
