Stela Cole - The Day It Rained in Southern California

I lay awake at night
See the moon up in the sky
Wishin’ I could be up there
Ease my mind and not feel scared
Of all the people down there

Cause I’ve got this issue
Make everybody happy
But I look in the mirror
Wonder who's lookin’ back at me
And I can’t stop it happening

It’s a never-ending summer
I’m getting way too hot
I need to feel the thunder to wash off what I’m not
Let it pour let it pour
On my skin a little more

The day it rained in southern California
Was the day I let my hair fall off my shoulders
And I felt so, free
The day it rained in southern California
Was the day I learned to love myself all over
And I felt so, Me

I tried to be perfect
But I’d never felt so worthless
Funny how you lose sight of things
When you spend your whole life searching
But when they close the curtains
Who are you?

It’s a never-ending summer
It’s getting way too hot
I need to feel the thunder, hit me like a waterfall
Let it pour let it pour
On my skin a little more, oh

The day it rained in southern California
Was the day I let my hair fall off my shoulders
And I felt so, free
The day it rained in southern California
Was the day I learned to love myself all over
And I felt so, Me

Without the rain, you can’t find the rainbow
Without the water, a flower can’t grow
Sometimes you gotta lose your mind just a little just to know

Without the rain, you can’t find the rainbow
Without the water, a flower can’t grow
Sometimes you gotta lose your mind just a little just to know

The day it rained in southern California
Was the day I let my hair fall off my shoulders
And I felt so, free
The day it rained in southern California
Was the day I learned to love myself all over
And I felt so, Me
And I felt so,
Free
