Speak Now (Commentary)-Taylor Swift

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

[Verse 1

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

[Pre-Chorus

This is surely not

What you thought it would be

I lose myself in a daydream

Where I stand and say

[Chorus

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"

[Verse 2

Fond 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

[Pre-Chorus

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)

[Chorus

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"

[Chorus

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"

[Interlude

Ooh, la-da-da-da, oh

Ooh, ooh

(Say a single vow)

[Bridge

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

[Verse 3

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

(Hehe!)

[Chorus

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"

[Chorus - Variation

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 say my vows

So glad you were around when they said

"Speak now"
