[Verse 1] Look at yourself, 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 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 at me So I told them: I'm the type of pony everypony everypony should know (x3) [Chorus] Octavia, why are you still playing the cello? So mellow, Octavia, Octavia, Octavia Octavia, why are you still playing the cello? So mellow, 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 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]
