Narrative:

Approaching runway 25L tower advised, 'light transport X cross 35L position 35R, be prepared for immediate departure, traffic 3 mi final.' first officer replied, 'roger, cross the left position and hold 35R, we're ready.' I then stated, 'continue the check,' and we completed the cleared for takeoff checklist as we taxied between the 2 runways. Before entering 35R I cleared the approach path visually to ensure there was adequate sep for departure. Approximately 1 min elapsed while we held in position while waiting for the previous arrival to clear the runway. The previous arrival missed the first high speed and was a little slow clearing the second high speed. Tower then stated, 'light transport X, clear the runway, you were not cleared onto the runway,' to which I responded, 'is that for light transport X? We were cleared into position,' to which tower responded, 'ah, yes, light transport X clear the runway. No you weren't sir,' to which I responded, 'light transport clearing, mark the tape.' the tower then stated, 'air carrier Y go around, runway heading, 3000', contact departure 118.25, light transport X hold your position.' my first officer then stated, 'light transport X holding.' 2 mins elapsed and we were then cleared for the takeoff and I again stated, 'light transport X cleared for takeoff, please mark the tape so I can review it later.' tower acknowledged and sent us to departure at XA35. When time permitted I relayed the incident to my dispatcher who recorded my dissertation and I requested the cvr tape pulled upon my return (I had pulled the circuit breaker). Maintenance advised that the cvr was a sealed unit and could not be pulled, so I reset the circuit breaker.
