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 excatly what you 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 just 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)
