Takes
Lyrics
[verse]
The bride is standing at the top of the stairs
Nervous hands are shaking, nobody really cares
Church bells ringing out a warning kind of song
Everyone smiling like nothing could go wrong
[verse]
Daddy's in the corner with a worried kind of stare
Mama's crying tears she's trying hard to spare
The dress is white as snow but the truth is painted grey
Nobody's asking if she wants to run away
[chorus]
It's a white wedding, it's a nervous day
It's a white wedding, and there's more to say
It's a white wedding, but it ain't a fairy tale
It's a white wedding, and the bride looks pale
[verse]
The groom is smiling wide but his eyes look far away
Everybody's dancing like they've got nothing left to say
The cameras keep flashing, the guests keep raising voices high
But somewhere in the chaos, someone's start to cry
[chorus]
It's a white wedding, it's a nervous day
It's a white wedding, and there's more to say
It's a white wedding, but it ain't a fairy tale
It's a white wedding, and the bride looks pale
[bridge]
Start again tomorrow, start again with truth
Don't let a borrowed dress decide the rest of your youth
There's still a road that leads away from here
Take it if you have to, there's nothing left to fear
[chorus]
It's a white wedding, it's a nervous day
It's a white wedding, and there's more to say
It's a white wedding, but it ain't a fairy tale
It's a white wedding, and the bride looks pale
