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 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 run away la la la la
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
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 see myself so glad you were around
When they said speak now
