[Verse 1]
I told you I would wait
I said I'd wait for you to come my way
Weeks and months and years don't feel the same, to me
I walked a walk of shame
I walked it with a poison in my veins
I walked it so that you would feel the same
About me
[Pre-Chorus]
Talk to me, talk to me
You can't just stare right through me
Talk to me, talk to me
You can't just walk right by me
[Chorus 1]
You never said why you went away
We'll meet again in Deception Bay
You promised you would be here to stay
We'll meet again in Deception Bay
[Verse 2]
I thought that I was right
Right about what I thought I saw in your eyes
But now I know that what I saw in there, were lies
The fear you feel at night
When you wake up and you know what you're all about
When you feel scared that you chose the other side
(Don't come running back when the lights have changed)
[Pre-Chorus]
Talk to me, talk to me
You can't just stare right through me
Talk to me, talk to me
You can't just walk right by me
(No you can't just walk now)
[Chorus 1]
You never said why you went away
We'll meet again in Deception Bay
You promised you would be here to stay
We'll meet again in Deception Bay
[Chorus 2]
You never said why you went away
We'll meet again in Deception Bay
Your childish dreams seem to know the way
I'll follow them to Deception Bay
[Outro]
I called you from the car
I called to say that you have left a scar
I called to say that you hurt me the most

Camille:
I think that’s a good balance between the two. You know, the fact that we kept the piano, fo...
