The Day It Rained in Southern California - Stela Cole

I lay awake at night

See the moon up in the sky

Wishing I could be up there

Ease my mind and not feel scare

Of all the people down there

Cause I’ve got this issue

Make everybody happy

But I look in the mirror

Wonder who’s looking 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, oh

When they close the curtain, 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

The day it rained in southern California was the day I let my hair fall off my

shoulders

And I felt so free, oh

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, oh

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
