DescriptionCalifornia is a the third song on Stephen’s nature-inspired 2019 EP “it’s too much love to know my dear.”

The song’s lyrics strongly suggest that it’s about the back-and-forth struggle of faith in religion and religious beliefs. Many times during the song, the lyrics mention things that have either led the singer toward or away from religion and a belief in God.
LyricsStay a little while, I'll burn this palo santo for you
I believe in signs that I cannot quite yet explain
Southern rainy nights don't come this much in California

Something in the sky is leading you and talking through me
Leave you to decide if this is real or I'm insane
Southern rainy nights don't come this much in California

Used to believe in a god till my faith was destroyed by my thinking a lot
Searching for truth, it was smart if I listened to logic and tuned out my heart
But none of my thinking can grasp at this beautiful feeling that I can't ignore
'nore, 'nore
I can't ignore
I can't ignore

I said hey babe, fuck all the shame
I see my glory and nothing can take that away, hey
Hope you feel the same, ay
Give me strength, ay, to go my own way
This beautiful feeling that I can't ignore
'nore, 'nore

(I say hey)
Stay a little while, I'll burn this palo santo for you
I believe in signs that I cannot quite yet explain
Southern rainy nights don't come this much in California
(They don't come this much in California)

Something in the sky is leading me and talking through you
Leave you to decide if this is real or I'm insane
Southern rainy nights don't come this much in California
(They don't come this much in California)
(Oh, California, yeah, oh)You might also like
