speak now

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 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" Ooh, la, oh Ooh, ooh 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 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 say my vows So glad you were around when they said "Speak now"

back to december...

I'm so glad you made time to see meHow's life, tell me how's your familyI haven't seen them in a whileYou've been good, busier then everWe small talk, work and the weatherYour guard is up and I know why'Cause the last time you saw me Is still burned in the back of your mindYou gave me roses and I left them there to dieSo this is me swallowing my pride, Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night And I'd go back to December all the timeIt turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mineI'd go back to December, turn around and make it all rightI go back to December all the timeThese days I haven't been sleepingStaying up playing back myself leaving When your birthday passed and I didn't callAnd I think about summer, all the beautiful timesI watched you laughing from the passenger side and, Realized I loved you in the fallAnd then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mindYou gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye So this is me swallowing my pride, Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that nightAnd I'd go back to December all the timeIt turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mineI'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mindI go back to December all the timeI miss your tan skin, your sweet smile, so good to me, so right And how you held me in your arms that September night, The first time you ever saw me cryMaybe this is wishful thinking Probably mindless dreamingIf we loved again I swear I'd love you rightI'd go back in time and change it but I can'tSo if the chain is on your door, I understandBut this is me swallowing my pride, Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night And I'd go back to DecemberIt turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mineI'd go back to December, turn around and make it alrightI'd go back to December, turn around and change my own mindI go back to December all the timeAll the time
