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
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 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

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´
