Lyrics:
Rebecca moves across the world She's a sirocco 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 one that you wanted her to be Mystery shrouds her like an island It is an island in a lonely sea Oh, Rebecca Oh, Rebecca
I was thirteen going on forty Wasting my summer on the beach Burned on the outside, 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'd ever had And 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 have called you If I'd 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'd planned...
History clouds what I remember The one that I wanted her to be Mystery shrouds her like an island Does she still remember me? My life is like a turnstile So many strangers passing through There have been more than I can number But I still remember you
Oh, Rebecca Oh, Rebecca

It's not my favorite of Molly's songs anymore but it was for a long time because when I was younger (before So Weird aired) I had a friend named Rebecca whose family just disappeared one day without warning. I never saw or heard from her again and when I watched this episode, there was a part of me that wondered if the story was real and my Rebecca was the "real" Rebecca.

It is amazing how the songs on So Weird impact a lot of people's lives, especially Rebecca. I think it is a great thing.

If I had something like that happen to me, I think I would of loved that song 10 times more then I did, Cause that song really relates to what happened to you.

We were 8, not 13, but everything else was weirdly similar - including how close we were. It's 20 years later and I still use her name instead of my own online (I think I grew up at exactly the right time to be super paranoid about the internet) so I still think about her just about every day.

Awww, sorry for your loss. I know what it's like to lose a friend, I recently lost my friend, He died in may, And things are not the same without him.
