Speak Now Lyrics – Taylor Swift
“Speak Now” transports listeners to Taylor’s daydream where she crashes her ex’s wedding so he won’t be stuck with a girl who doesn’t treat him right. It’s rumored to be inspired by Hayley Williams of Paramore, who had to attend the wedding of an ex-boyfriend and ex-bandmate Josh Farro in April 2010.

I am not the kind of girlWho should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasionBut you are not the kind of boyWho should be marrying the wrong girl
I sneak in and see your friendsAnd her snotty little family all dressed in pastelAnd she is yelling at a bridesmaidSomewhere back inside a roomWearing a gown shaped like a pastry
This is surely not what you thought it would beI lose myself in a daydreamWhere I stand and say
Don’t say yes, run away nowI’ll meet you when you’re out of the church at the back doorDon’t wait, or say a single vowYou need to hear me outAnd they said, “Speak now“
Fond gestures are exchangedAnd the organ starts to playA song that sounds like a death marchAnd I am hiding in the curtainsIt seems that I was uninvited by your lovely bride-to-be
She floats down the aisle like a pageant queenBut I know you wish it was meYou wish it was meDon’t you?
Don’t say yes, run away nowI’ll meet you when you’re out of the church at the back doorDon’t wait, or say a single vowYou need to hear me outAnd they said, “Speak now”
Don’t say yes, run away nowI’ll meet you when you’re out of the church at the back doorDon’t wait, or say a single vowYour time is running outAnd they said, “Speak now”
I hear the preacher say, “Speak now or forever hold your peace”There’s the silence, there’s my last chanceI stand up with shaky hands, all eyes on meHorrified looks from everyone in the roomBut I’m only looking at you
I am not the kind of girlWho should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasionBut you are not the kind of boyWho should be marrying the wrong girl
So don’t say yes, run away nowI’ll meet you when you’re out of the church at the back doorDon’t wait, or say a single vowYou need to hear me outAnd 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 doorBaby, I didn’t say my vowsSo glad you were aroundWhen they said, “Speak now”
