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

Sam, why am I doing this? Why am I barging in on your wedding, your special day? But I guess a better question would be why are you doing this? Why are you marrying her?

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

I came earlier and snuck in and saw her, Emily, and our snotty little family, why are they all wearing pastel, like this is a happy event? Emily's back inside a room, somewhere, I heard her yelling at one of her bridesmaids, did you see her dress? It looks like a pastry! This can't be what you thought it would be, is it? *sigh* I started to daydream, of a time where I'd stand up and speak.

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"

I ask you not to say yes, you could run away, I'd meet you outside, you can't wait, you mustn't say a single vow. Please, please hear me out, they said, "Speak now". So I did.

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

Everyone is smiling, and chattering endlessly, than the piano starts to play, you do know it sounds like a death march, right? I'm hiding, because my stupid cousin/your 'lovely' bride to be didn't seem to invite me. How nice; not.

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?

She looks sickeningly pageant-queen like, But I know you wish it was me, I know it…Right?

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".

Sam, don't say yes, run away, I promise I'll be waiting at the back of the church. Don't wait, don't say a single vow, they said "speak now" so I'll say it again. Your time is running out, please, hear me out!

Oh, la, la

Oh, oh

Say a single vow

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.

The preacher says "speak now or forever hold your peace"; you didn't honestly think I wouldn't stand up, did you? I hear the silence, and I stand, my hands shaking, all eyes look to me, horrified. But I'm looking at you and I start to speak.

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".

"Sam, you know I'm not the type of girl who should be doing this, but I know that you're not the type of boy who should marry the wrong girl. And she's the wrong girl. So don't say I do, run away now, I'll meet you when you're out back, don't wait, or say your vows, hear me out. They said "speak now"

And you'll 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".

And you'd grin at me and nod answering me with the answer I wanted. "Let's run away now, I'll meet you when I'm out of my tux, out back. Hey, baby I didn't say my vows. I am so glad you were around when the preacher said speak now." But it's only a daydream, and I wish it wasn't.
