fanart for this song I guess https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbTu2OzYhPo&list=RDLbTu2OzYhPo
 
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, dancin’ ‘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 routin’ for  
you were too supportive, callin’ me two in the mornin’,  
askin’ how my show was, makin’ me feel important
 
I’m forever in your debt,  
love to watch you play the cello, never see you sweat  
See you cool as an ice cube, playin’ the right tunes  
make the strings sing while the orchestra’s behind you
 
but why, when you got the big gig  
everyday you had to practice, everyday you did  
so every single second of your day,  
you were occupied, no time, even if you tried;
 
Yeah, Octavia, won’t you tell me why  
you are leaving me on hold, oh no  
Yeah, Octavia, with the time gone by,  
when did you become so cold
 
cuz the silence between us, just ain’t right  
has what we once had grown old, no  
Yeah, Octavia better answer me,  
cuz I won’t let you leave me, leave me, on hold
 
It’s been a couple o’ weeks, I ain’t got not but a peep  
and I shouldn’t believe that I’m starting to freak  
but serious Tavi, like are you mad at me?  
Did I do something bad, or maybe I got snappy?
 
I try to tell myself that “I don’t even wanna hang” and  
“I could find a million others like you on the friendship train.”  
I got fans like the ocean’s got water  
my friends scratch their heads and ask “…why bother?”
 
But your more than a fan and your more than a friend  
maybe more than I can stand, this pain should end.  
Insane and intense this ain’t friendship.  
It sits somewhere between “soulmate” and “kinship”
 
Bridge  
my mind keeps racin’ and I cant keep the pace, just  
Tell me why!  
Just tell me why!  
Just tell me why-y!  
Won’t you tell me why…?
 
…Tell me why my heart skips when the phone rings  
it’s not you, my heart sinks…  
these are things that I’m parsing,  
all this doubt can lead a heart to harden,  
my soul-searchin’ is startin’ to darken.
 
These good intentions are leavin’ us in tension  
they tend to test every single dimension
 
But now I’m diggin’ on it Tavi and I think I want it  
I link connections in my heart and I’m writtin’ a sonnet.  
You’re poetry in motion, my spirit’s written on it  
You know me and my notions, I’m here to flaunt it
 
So hear me out through these worries and doubts!  
I veer to the clouds ‘till it’s clear, and I’ll shout it!  
I’m glowin’ and growin’ emboldened  
You got me on hold but the only thing I wanna hold on…
 
Is yo-u  
yo-o-u
 

 
Yeah, Octavia, won’t you tell me why  
you are leaving me on hold, oh no  
Yeah, Octavia, with the time gone by,  
when did you become so cold
 
Cuz the silence between us, just ain’t right!  
Has what we once had grown old?  
Yeah Octavia better answer me!  
Cuz I won’t let you… I won’t let you leave… me on hold
