Speak Low
I am not the kind of girl,
who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion,
but you a not the kind of boy,
who should be marrying a wrong girl.
i sneak in and see your friends,
and her snotty little family all dressed in pastel.
and she is yelling at a bridesmade
somewhere back inside a room
wearing a gown shaped like a pastry,
this is surely not what you thought it would be
and i lose myself in a daydream'
where i stand and say
Don't Say Yes Run away now
i'll meet you when your out
of the church at the back door
Dont wait or say a single vow
you need to hear me out
and they said "Speak Now"
Fond Gestures are exchange
and the organs start to play a song that sound like a death march
And i am hiding in a Curtains
it seem that i was univited
by your lovely brides-to-be
She's Floats down the aisle like a pageant queen
but i know you wish it was me,
you wish it was me, dont you?!
So Dont Say Yes run away now
i need you when your out of the church at the backdoor
dont wait or say a single vow
you need to hear me out when they said speak now
dont say yes run away now
i'll meet you when your out of the church at the back door
dont wait or say a single vow
you need to hear me out and they said speak now
ohhh, ohhh
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 im only looking at you
i am not the kind of girl
who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion
but you, a not the kind of boy
who should be marrying a wrong girl
So dont say yes run away now
i'll meet you when your out of the church at the back door
dont 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 im out of my tux at the back door
baby, i did'nt say my vows
so glad u were around
when they said speak now
who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion,
but you a not the kind of boy,
who should be marrying a wrong girl.
i sneak in and see your friends,
and her snotty little family all dressed in pastel.
and she is yelling at a bridesmade
somewhere back inside a room
wearing a gown shaped like a pastry,
this is surely not what you thought it would be
