So Weird Lyrics
Rebecca
Rebecca moves accross the world
She's a scirocco on the sand
She is the Nile that flows forever
Cutting a wound across the land
She'll be your friend before you know her
She'll have your trust before it's earned
But like any nomad she will wander
Breaking the hearts of all concerned
History clouds what we remember
The woman you wanted her to be
Mystery shrouds her like an island
It is an island in a lonely sea
Oh, Rebecca
Tiditititow
Oh, Rebecca
I was thirteen goin' on forty
Wasting my summer on the beach
Burned on the outside and raw in the middle
That Molly's just too hard to reach
Rebecca moved in yeah she moved me
She was the best friend I've ever had
But then one day she went away
Didn't think I'd ever feel that bad
Where did you go?
Why did you lie?
Why did you leave without saying goodbye?
How 'bout the promise that you made me
Was it really so easy to trade me
For another town, another friend
Another beginning without any end
So many times I would've called you
If I had your number in my hand
You were the one I would have turned to
When things didn't go the way I'd planned
I never got a chance to tell you
Things didn't go the way I planned
History clouds what I remember
The woman I wanted her to be
Mystery shrouds her like an island
does she still remember me
All my life is like a turnstile
So many strangers passing through
There've been more than I can number
But I still remember you
Ohhhhhh
Rebecca
Ohhhhhh Rebecca
'Cause You're Watching Over Me
Alexz Johnson
You lift me up, I touch the sky
When there's a tear you wipe my eye
Everyone, I think, should know
Where I am, you always go
You are shadow
You are light
You take the darkness
From the night
I am always safe and free
'Cause you're watching over me
Never Give Up
Alexz Johnson
There's a voice that I can't see
Sometimes in dreams it calls to me
I hear a voice but no one's there
It says, "Be strong, you best beware"
It's up to you
You got to choose
Are you gonna win or are you gonna lose?
CHORUS
You got to never give up
No, never give in
And when you fall down
You got to get back up again
You know you got to be a fighter
If you're ever gonna win
Hey! You got to never give up
No, never give in
When something tries to pull me down
I'm feeling weak, I can't go on
Something weak to something strong
I feel these words carrying me along
It's up to you
You got to choose
Are you gonna win or are you gonna lose?
CHORUS 2x
The Rock
Mackenzie Phillips
There's a low rock wall
By the cliffs of Mohar
Runs from down on the ground
Right up through the sea air
As a child, I would climb
To the top of those stairs
And wish on the fog
I was anywhere else
The farms and the valleys
Are ringed with the stones
Of the men who built walls
Sos to be more alone
All that's left of them now
Are their fears and their bones
But the rocks they put up
Were all I've ever known
The rock fought my spirit
The rock fed my anger
The rock broke my heart
Like the waves of the sea
I tried hard to fight
But it still grew inside me
This island, my Ireland
The rock is in me
Hard was the ground
In which this child grew
Unforgiving and cold
Was the home that I knew
But knowing the soil
Not harboured for you
Makes pulling up roots
That much easier to do
Set sail
Young pilgrims
Set sail
To a new land
Set sail
Our future
Is out there to find
CHORUS
Now it's been years
Since I've been in that place
And the winds of my life
Have all weathered my face
But if only with distance
And the coming of grace
That I see in you beauty
I could never replace
CHORUS B
The rock forged my spirit
The rock was my anchor
The rock held me fast
Through the storms of my youth
Now you'll never die
'Cause you live on inside me
On Illinsha
Moharen fain
Another World
Mackenzie Phillips
She lives in one small room
Over the convienence store
She had big plans once
She doesn't have them anymore
Got little diamonds in her ears
But she's got coal in her eyes
It's been night so long now
She doesn't think the sun will rise
And she asks, "Is this all there is?
Won't this ever end?
There must be a better place"
CHORUS
Looking for another world
I'm not sure we should
I'm not sure salvation lies there
There is bad as well as good
Let us love each other now
As if this world is all there is
He wanted to believe
In the dreams he held so dear
He swam against the tide
But he was drowning in his fear
On the lost horizon
The goal kept shrinking down in size
It's been night so long now
He doesn't think the sun will rise
And he says, "This can't be all there is
There must be something more
There must be a better place"
CHORUS
Lying here beside you
I wonder what will become of us
Of you and me, oh, of all of us
So many dangers, oh so much at stake
I'm scared of what I cannot see, my love
I am so scared
I'll help you if I can
I believe I've got to try
We all have our parts to play
And I am playing mine
I don't know about another world
What beyond this curtain lies
I know it's been night a long time
But one day the sun will rise
Yes, one day the sun will rise
Different Story
Mackenzie Phillips
Some people's lies
Some people's truths
And people's broken dreams
Things they do
Things they say
Things they make believe
I try to stop and hold my breath
And wonder what I'll find
Behind the door something stirs
But only in my mind
CHORUS
If you listen to your fears
And you follow foolish dreams
Believing that they're real
When they're not quite what they seem
Then you can write a different story
I came across a different place
A different way of life
Looking for the time I lost to put the past behind
Sometimes I try
Sometimes I fail
Sometimes I close my eyes
The different places that I found
Were only in my mind
CHORUS 2x
You can write a different story
(repeat 5x)
One In A Million World
Mackenzie Phillips & Alexz Johnson
Molly: What are the chances
There'd be you and me
There is no might have been
I say it's destiny
Annie: And of all of the lives
We could live
All of the love
We could give
Molly: Who would ever guess
Out of all the rest
That you would be here
with me
Molly: Oh,
Both: It's a one, one,
One in a million world
And we're two, two,
Two in a billion
In a one in a million world
Zillion stars in the sky
Planets all spinning by
Take away what might have been
And here we are again
It's a one, one,
One in a million world
In the Darkness
Mackenzie Phillips
Demons come from every side
In the darkness is the light
Pulling me on a downward slide
In the darkness is the light
Getting hotter deeper i go
In the darkness is the light
Into the darkness down below
In the darkness is the light
Now the ghosts come dancing by
In the darkness is the light
Out of the shadows of my life
In the darkness is the light
Coming to come clean my soul
In the darkness is the light
Didn't know that they would go so low
In the darkness is the light
I live my life in one straight line
The future ahead and the past behind
Don't wanna go back to yesterday
But i don't know how long
I can run this way
Ee yeah!
Hanging up a hanging vine
In the darkness is the light
Hang it round through my own line
In the darkness is the light
A creatures there in darkness nigh
In the darkness is the light
Why is it that it has my eye
In the darkness is the light
I live my life in one straight line
The future ahead and the past behind
Now I've hit a wall like I never knew
And they tell me the only way out is through
The air!
Demons live it and they see-yeah
In the darkness is the light
See me down there on my knees-yeah
In the darkness is the light
And just when I thought I'd lost my sight
In the darkness is the light
I had a glimpse of that beautiful light
In the darkness is the light
In the darkness is the light
Surrender will win the fight
This girls walked on fire and ice
But i come out of the other side of paradise
Oh yeah paradise
Yeah yeah
My paradise!
Gets killed in you
Get killed in you baby
Paradise!
Paradise!
Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah!
Paradise!
In the Darkness-Version 2
Mackenzie Phillips
Demons come from every side
In the darkness is the light
Pulling me on a downward slide
In the darkness is the light
Getting hot the deeper I go
In the darkness is the light
Into the darkness down below
In the darkness is the light
I live my life in one straight line
The future ahead and the past behind
Don't wanna go back to yesterday
But I don't know how long I can run this way
A jungle hung with tangled vines
In the darkness is the light
Tangled up in my own lines
In the darkness is the light
A creature there in darkness lies
In the darkness is the light
Wiser that he has my eyes
In the darkness is the light
I live my life in one straight line
The future ahead and the past behind
Now I've hit a wall like I never knew
And they tell me the only way out
Is through the air!
They say the truth will set me free
In the darkness is the light
Afraid to be down here on my knees
In the darkness is the light
But just when I thought I'd lost my sight
In the darkness is the light
I catch a glimpse of that beautiful light
In the darkness is the light
In the darkness is the light
Surrender, we'll win the fight
This girl's walked through fire and ice
But I come out on the other side of paradise
Oh, yeah, paradise, yeah, paradise
It's killing you, it's killing you, baby
Paradise, paradise, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Paradise

But I come out on the other side of paradise
Love Is Broken
Mackenzie Phillips
It's dark outside and the baby is asleep
You're going for a ride
Why is it black?
What is this tingle on the back of my neck?
It's cold outside and the fire's burned out
You're going for a ride
Don't go
Walking down the sidewalk
In New York City snow
A stranger brushed against us
His face was all in shadows
A shiver ran right down my spine
I pulled your arm through mine
Shut my eyes and I can see
The night I whispered tenderly
CHORUS A
Your breath is still on my lips
Your touch is on my fingertips
Your tears are still on my cheek
Your voice still makes me weak
CHORUS B
Gifts I will never give to you
Lives I will never live with you
Words that'll never be spoken
The moment I lose you
Love is broken
Love is broken
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Didn't want to love you
Didn't want to go that deep
Didn't want a dream to come true
Just to lose it while I sleep
Every night I held you tight
Don't take him from me now
Every day I'd wake and say
I've got to keep it one more day
Thank you
Thank you for this day
CHORUS B
Love is broken
Love is broken
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Walking down the hallway
Turning off the lights
You hold me
But it's time to say goodnight
CHORUS A
CHORUS B
CHORUS A
CHORUS B
Love is broken
Love is broken
Love is broken
Love is broken
More Like A River
Mackenzie Phillips
I roll over and I said it out loud
I said, "Give me one more moment
Just one more moment
To finish this dream"
I wanna be more like a river
And less like a wall
Not try to hold back
These feelings at all
'Cause when I miss you
When I'm dying to kiss you
I gotta let that flow
More like a river
There's a house in the mountains
Filled with bits of me and you
I had a dream there
But morning came too soon
I've been holding on
It's been holding me back
I don't wanna give in
But I know what you'd say to me
"Finish this dream"
Can I be more like a river
And less like a wall
Not try to hold back
These feelings at all
'Cause when I miss you
When I'm dying to kiss you
I gotta let that flow
More like a river
'Cause in the mornings
There are kids, and dogs, and bills, and sunlight
And a new day, and a new day
And another new day without you
New Math
Mackenzie Phillips
Dear party of the first part
It's time to draw the line
It's time to make the list
And divide up the broken heart
Dear mother of my daughter
Dear father of my son
It’s time to face the problem
And find the proper dissolution
It’s the new math
It’s the new math
We didn’t add up so now we’ve got to divide
It’s the new math
It’s the new math
Don’t you think it’s strange how we multiply and divide
Get a piece of chalk
Put it on the blackboard
Husband minus wife
Sorry you had to learn to so young
This man is real life
This is the new math
This is the new math
We didn't so add up so now we've got to decide
This is the new math
This is the new math
Gonna think it's a shame cause we multiply and divide
Origami
Mackenzie Phillips
These nights I just can't sleep
These walls are paper thin
I just can't take the heat
Something's trying to get in
Hit me, hit me, hit me, hit me
I ain't obeying no more
The way I'm bound to break
Took me down to my car
That's all that I can take
I've been folding myself, yeah
I really sold myself
With no escape
I've been folding myself
In little shapes
Trying to please you, trying to appease you
And ended up with ten thousand me's
When you made me say I was ice
Say you were the warmth to thaw me
Now I'm too broke to pay that price
The secret to love
The secret to love is not origami
I've been so many shapes
Since the day that I was born
From ugly duckling to a swan
And now a unicorn
I've been folding myself, yeah
I really sold myself
With no escape
I've been folding myself
In little shapes
Trying to compare, trying to ensnare you
Finally there was no one there
When you made me say I was ice
Say you were the warmth to thaw me
Now I'm too broke to pay that price
The secret to love
The secret to love is not origami
No, no, no
Oh how I miss the exchange
Of electricity
And now it feels so strange
To expose the real me
Ain't gonna fold myself, yeah
Just wanna behold myself
Well, I really mean it
I know I sold myself
Ain't gonna fold myself, yeah
The secret to love
The secret to love
The secret to love is not origami
Push Me, Pull You
Alexz Johnson
I don't want a lecture
I've had enough
You think you're so tight
You think you're so tough
CHORUS
You wanna change my world
Say that you know best
Baby look in the mirror, take another guess
Your nuclear reaction
A minor distraction
Your positive is negative
There's no attraction
Push me, pull you
I can see right through you
Mover, shaker
Learn to be a giver, not a taker.
You think you're tall as a building
You're just a little stump
You think you move like an Earth quake
But you're just a bump
CHORUS
Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah
Baby
Push me, pull you
I can see right through you
Mover, shaker
Learn to be a giver not a taker
(repeat)
She Sells
Mackenzie Phillips
Hear that song on the radio
The one stuck in your head
It's designed to seize your mind
You're gonna sing it til' you are dead
It isn't by your favorite band
It's by a girl you'll never know
But the next time you go shopping
She'll tell you where to go
She sells!
Sea sells condos by the sea shore! She sells!
She sells!
She sells machines to wax the kitchen floor! She sells!
She sells!
She sells to get a slice of the big pie! She sells!
But in the end she sells her soul
Cause she knows thats what they want to buy
Then she finds herself forgetting
Why she started in the first place
Afternoons at the piano
On daddy's knee
First a "G"
Now an "E"
That's the way baby
Now it's time for contracts and royalties
And 30 second spots
Don't make them cry
Just make them buy
And make them buy a lot
She sells!
Sea sells condos by the sea shore! She sells!
She sells!
She sells ointment for that open sore! She sells!
She sells!
She sells to get a slice of the big pie
But she don't want to sell her soul
So it's time to say
Goodbye!
Mint flavored air pollution
Advanced Internet solution
She sells
She sells
She sells
She sells
Goodbye!
Goodbye!
To Dream About You
Alexz Johnson
First time I saw you, made my heart go bang
Next time I saw you, it was all the same (ohhh)
I felt my heart beat for the very first time
You made me wonder if I'm losing my mind
We should take some time boy
We should get to know
I think I wanna know you
And I think it's gonna show
CHORUS A
Give me a signal, give me a sign
I need an indication to know that you are mine
Give me your sweet kiss, and I need your number too
Give me inspiration to dream about you
CHORUS B
Dream about
I dream about
I'm dreamin 'bout
About you
Dream about
I dream about
Still dreamin' 'bout
About you...
I could be your girl, it could be so sweet
I pray for your love every time I go to sleep
Do you know I'm into you and I can hardly wait
To see you face to face, 'cause you know it must be fate
We can take our time so
We can get to know
Try and take my time
But still it's gonna show
CHORUS A
I'm dreaming 'bout
Dreamin' 'bout
Dreamin' 'bout
Dreamin' 'bout
Dreamin' 'bout (yeah)
I'm dreaming 'bout you, boy
Can't stop dreamin' 'bout you
Dreamin' 'bout
Dreamin' 'bout
Dreamin' 'bout
(repeat)
Ohh, yeah
CHORUS A
I'm dreamin' 'bout
I - I'm dreamin' 'bout
I dream about
I - I'm dreamin' 'bout
I dream about
Dre-dre-dream about
About you
I dream about
