Weeks turned to months as a grueling concert schedule among the bustle of the Canterlot elite left the cellist too breathless to bask in adulation. Yet as tired as she was, sleep simply wouldn't come. Weary, moistened eyes again turned to the display on her phone and scanned the list of messages. It had been a week since her falling out with the DJ, and she couldn't shake the feeling that she needed to take some kind of action. The umbrage she took towards being called "uncaring" and "indifferent" still lingered with her. But even stronger was the urge for reconciliation. What a bizarre friendship this had turned out to be. Or maybe it was something more altogether? She bit her lip. Whatever the case, she knew this much: it was something worth running for.

For this track, I really wanted to show a different side of Octavia. I wanted to break that infinite classy-cool of hers, if only for a minute (or five), to reveal a character who is more vulnerable and whose feelings are expressed with a little more vehemence. You could consider much of this track an internal monologue of sorts.
lyrics
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'!
