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...
