LYRICS:

Look at yourself when you were young

In ponyville you did not belong

It was not what you have wanted

Made money by playing songs

Though nopony wanted to sing along

You felt that your talent was kinda wasted

Didn't last long, so long

good bye to my old place

Canterlot Canterlot

where the best of ponies are there

You ran off, so wrong

Your parents look at you sad

Famous Famous

That's the only word that went through your head

They came to me

They looked me

So I told them:

I'm the type of pony everypony everypony should know

I'm the type of pony everypony everypony should know

I'm the type of pony everypony everypony should know

Chorus x2

Octavia,

Why are you still playing that cello

So mellow, Octavia, Octavia Octavia

(Can you please play me a lullaby)

Verse 2:

Here you are in Canterlot

It's the place you always dreamed about

It's exactly what you have wanted

Playing music with the big boys now

Everyone is cheering and you take a bow

Everything is going well just as expected

So you decided, to call

your best friend back from the past

It's me, your friend,

I wonder how has been all these years

Can't talk, not now

busy making a new song

Regret, Regret

Why did I forget about her for so long?

I'm so sorry

I'm so sorry

I'm the type of pony everypony everypony should know

But I forgot who am I so I think I should go back home

Should I stay here at the place where everybody knows me for so long?

Chorus x2

Octavia,

Why are you still playing that cello

So mellow, Octavia, Octavia Octavia

Can you please play me a lullaby
