When we first met, I finished my first set. You were in the club, while I spun till the floor split Attached at the hips, dance till the sunrise, never catching sleep always talked, really fun times. I never had a friend like you before. We could chat about music, and who we're rootin' for. And you were too supportive, calling me 2 in the mornin. Asked me how my show was, always makin' me feelin' important. Yeah, I was forever in your debt. I loved to watch you play your Cello, never see you sweat. See you cool as an ice cube, but playing the right tune make the strings sing while the Orchestra's behind you. But why, When you got the big gig. Everyday you had to practice everything you did. And so every single second of your day, you were occupied. Couldn't find a little time for me, even if you tried. Yea! Octavia! Won'tcha tell me why, you are leaving me on hold (oh no!)/ Oh, Octavia! In the time gone by, when did you become so cold?(Cuz the) / Silence between us Just ain't so right. Has what we once had grown old? (Oh no!)/ Yea! Octavia! Better answer me! 'Cause I won't let you leave me, leave me, On hold. It's been a couple of weeks, I ain't got not but a peep. And though I shouldn't I believe that i am starting to freak. You're just a friend but then again, even friends should speak. Not that it matters, nevermind I got others to meet. But serious Tavi, like are you mad at me? Like did I do something bad or exceedingly crappy? I know it sounds sappy, but we were both happy. What happen to us where you never ever call me back? You know forget about, I don't even want to hang. I could find a million others like you on the Friendship Train. *Pause* I don't really know why I'm even bothered. I'm a big star, you're only a fan, just like every other... Maybe more than a fan... you are a good friend... Way more than I can stand, this pain it should end. Insane and intense, maybe this isn't friendship... Maybe this emptiness I feel is beyond a kinship. My heart skips when the phone rings It's not you then the heart sinks. And that part stinks. These hard things that i'm parsing They're far reaching and I start seeing - what my heart's being. And even then I mean were friends, so I'd be on the fence. Cause it depends on how you feel, if it's really immense. Even the best intentions, leaving the rest in tension. Essentially it tends to test every single dimension. But no, I'm digging on it, Tavi, I'm thinking I want it. I link connections in my heart and I'm starting a sonnet You're poetry in motion, my spirit's written upon it. You know me and my notions, i'm fearlessly here to flaunt it. SO - here me out, amidst all of this worry and doubt. I veer of the clouds, now it's clear what I'm gearing to shout. In only a moment, I am glowing and growing emboldened. You got me on hold, but though it's you that i'm hoping to hold on. Yea! Octavia! Won'tcha tell me why, you are leaving me on hold (oh no!)/ Oh, Octavia! In the time gone by, when did you become so cold?(Cuz the) / Silence between us Just ain't so right. Has what we once had grown old? (Oh no!)/ Yea! Octavia! Better answer me! 'Cause I won't let you leave me, leave me, On hold.

I'm lyin' in bed, can't sleep/cuz I'm Tryin' to think, when did we last speak? I left you on hold? So untrue. Just been working so hard, like you know I do. It's taking a toll, it seems. And our friendship is cold, with how long it's been. I need you to know, just this It's not only you who's feelin'/it's Always hard when we're Miles apart!/but don't you start/ thinkin' I'm not there for you! I'll come runnin', yea, I'll come runnin' to you! I'll come runnin', yea, I'll come runnin' back! I'll come runnin', yea, I'll come runnin to you I'll come runnin'! Vinyl, It's not fair!/You sayin' I don't care! You just/ -say the words,/ to me and I'll come running , I'll come running! Don't you dare!/go sayin' I don't care! I'll always be there! for you, I'll come running, I'll come running! I'm packing my bags, tonight. Put rehearsals on hold, til' I make this right. The train leaves at four, there's still time I can't wait anymore, to say what's on my mind. But what could this mean? It's surreal. Going out of my way, 'cuz of how I feel. And what will they think of me? When I say it's you I'm runnin' to! I'm not scared! /and my Heart's laid bare/So Wait just there/and I'll come straight to you. I'll come runnin', yea, I'll come runnin' to you! I'll come runnin', yea, I'll come runnin' back! I'll come runnin', yea, I'll come runnin to you! I'll come runnin'! Vinyl, It's not fair!/You sayin' I don't care! Say the words to me and I'll come running , I'll come running! Don't you dare go sayin' I don't care! I'll always be there! for you, and I'll come running, I'll come running! I'll come runnin', yea, I'll come runnin' to you! I'll come runnin', yea, I'll come runnin' back! I'll come runnin', yea, I'll come runnin to you! I'll come runnin'! I'll come runnin'!

I recall what you said, Ri-ght before you left. You said that you’d go this one alone. You told me to call But weren’t there at all Cuz Your voice was replaced by that busy tone. (But!) First it wasn’t so bad All the freedom I had “It’s not like I needed you”, oh no. I guess things have changed Since we were estranged But this time I’ll stand by your- side--- I’ll Follow you down--- yea Tavi you know that I’ll----follow you, wherever we go the music’ll grow Follow--- I’ll Follow you down, yea Tavi you know that I’ll follow you wherever we go, I'm stayin' close Fol-low you down---we can Let the music drive us harmonies to bind us You and I----we can, Keep this one a duet Put some funk into it. Stand by me----and we’ll, Set this town on fire Take the music higher Share the stage, be-cause We ain’t flyin’ solo If you go I’ll follow you Down--- Take a look at us now, I can’t imagine how, We managed to come this far so fast Don’t you love the sight, Of our names in lights? And you thought this combo wouldn’t last. So let’s light up this place With a cello and bass It’s just you and me onstage, tonight When that curtain calls And after silence falls I know that I’ve still got you by my, side--- I’ll Follow you down--- yea Tavi you know that I’ll----follow you, wherever we go the music’ll grow Follow--- I’ll Follow you down, yea Tavi you know that I’ll follow you wherever we go I’m stayin’ close
