Think back to when you were young In Ponyville you did not belong It was not what you had wanted Made money by playing songs Though nopony wanted to sing along You felt that your talent was kind of wasted
Didn't last long, so long Goodbye to the old place Canterlot, Canterlot, Where the best of ponies reside You ran off, so wrong Your parents looked at you, sad Famous, famous That's the only words that went through your head
They came for you... They looked to you... So you told them--
I'm the type of pony everypony, everypony should know (Repeat x3)
Octavia! Do you still play that cello? So mellow-- Octavia... Octavia... (Repeat x2)
Here you are in Canterlot It's the place you've always dreamed about It's exactly what you had wanted Playing music with the big boys now Everyone is cheering as 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! How have you been after all this time? Can't talk, not now Busy making a new song Regret, regret How could I forget about you 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 I am, so I think that I should go back home Should I stay here at the place where everybody knew me for so long?
Octavia! Do you still play that cello? So mellow-- Octavia... Octavia... (Repeat x2)
