Rain in LA uses the extended metaphor of rain and weather to portray the idea that Bolton brought his sadness to LA.
[Chorus]
Gray clouds over my face, woah
I'll take the blame
Where's my California sunshine?
My teardrops they fall
And I brought the rain
Oh, oooh
There's my California sunshine
My teardrops they fall
There's rain in LA
[Verse 1]
Rainy days in mid July
I feel low so let's get high
Girl you know it's gonna take a while
We didn't really wanna go the extra mile
Lonely boy, and lonely girl
You sailed my heart around the world
I didn't really think you'd change your mind
But you broke my heart when you said goodbye
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Take the smoke inhale
You know it never fails
I'm better by myself, oh
And that's just how I feel
Talking million dollar deals
Houses in the hills, oh
[Chorus]
Gray clouds over my face, woah
I'll take the blame
Where's my California sunshine?
My teardrops they fall
And I brought the rain
[Verse 2]
I guess I brought the rain didn't I
Hate thinking 'bout you with a different guy
And maybe make up in a different time
Girl you can't say we didn't try
I think my doom is imminent
Spitting like I'm Eminem
Willy B the white singer synonym
I'm fucking crazy 'cause I'm snorting all this cinnamon
And ritalin, or adderall I've had it all, let's have a ball
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Fucked up off these pills
This liquor that I spilled
I'm losing all my will, oh
A broken heart for sale
The label paid my bail
I think I like LA
But I don't like the rain
[Bridge]
And I watch as you sail away
I'm ending this call, I'm boarding my plane
And as we land I heard the weatherman say:
"Woah, why's there Rain in LA?"
[Chorus]
Gray clouds over my face, woah
I'll take the blame
Where's my California sunshine?
My teardrops they fall
And I brought the rain, oh
Gray clouds over my face, woah
I'll take the blame
There's my California sunshine
My teardrops they fall
There's rain in LA
