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 her 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 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
It's sirens running out And they said, speak now
Run away now
She sits in the room
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 the church at the back door Baby,
I didn't say my vows
So glad you were around When they said,
speak now
