Lyrics:
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

Verse2
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...?

Verse3
...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...

Coda
Is yo-u
yo-o-u

Chorus

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...

(I won't let you le-ave me-e) On hold... (Hold on...)
(I won't let you le-ave me-e) On hold... (Hold on...)
