I lay awake at night
See the Moon up in the sky
Wishing 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 looking back at me
And I can't stop it happening
(Mm-mm-mm-mm)
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
(Mm-mm-mm)
And I felt so free (mm-mm-mm-mm-mm)
The day it rained in southern California
Was the day I learned to love myself all over
Mm-mm-mm
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?
(Mm-mm-mm-mm)
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
Mm-mm-mm
And I felt so free, oh
The day it rained in southern California
Was the day I learned to love myself all over
Mm-mm-mm
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
Mm-mm-mm
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
