don't know
what they were looking for when they made me leave home
i was so alone
and sometimes
i need him here to say "you'll be alright"
"what's on your mind?"
but he's a million miles away
i'm numbering the days
i'd catch a plane and leave this place today
chorus:
another sunny day in California
i wish that i was home to see it
and they don't know that what i love was ripped away
before i got a chance to feel it
back home
i always planned on having so much more
now i'm never sure
and sometimes i need so bad to know he's there for me
and feeling free
free to waste my time
basking in sunlight
and lying on a hammock under California's sky
chorus
another chilly day beneath this cloudy sky
all it ever does is rain here
at least it masks the tears falling from my eyes
i wish i never had to come here
another starry night in California...
