[Verse 1]
Wonder why you stay inside
I can't talk, can't speak my mind
Why you wanna waste your time?
Why don't you join me outside?
Everything is good, everything is fine
Thought I'd let you know, having a great time
Wonder why you stay inside
I can't talk, can't speak my mind

[Chorus]
I'm like a snail, you're a guy
Kinda mad I can't fly
When it's day, hide away
But come out when it rains
Like a snail, you're a guy
Kinda mad I can't fly
When it's day, hide away
But come out when it rains, when it rains

[Post-Chorus]
When it rains
(When it rains)
(When it rains)
(When it rains)

[Verse 2]
As I wake, down goes day
Out comes night, look alive
And I'll meet you in the park
The moon will light up my path
Everything's passing by
I ride to you on my bike
While everyone is asleep
Meet at the top of your street

[Chorus]
I'm like a snail, you're a guy
Kinda mad I can't fly
When it's day, hide away
But come out when it rains
Like a snail, you're a guy
Kinda mad I can't fly
When it's day, hide away
But come out when it rains, when it rains

[Post-Chorus]
When it rains
(When it rains)
(When it rains)
(When it rains)

[Bridge]
Snail
(When it rains)
(When it rains)
(When it rains)

[Chorus]
I'm like a snail, you're a guy
Kinda mad I can't fly
When it's day, hide away
But come out when it rains
Like a snail, you're a guy
Kinda mad I can't fly
When it's day, hide away
But come out when it rains, when it rains

Stella Rose Bennett (born 30 January 2000), known professionally as BENEE (formerly Bene), is a New Zealand singer-songwriter who debuted in December 2017 with “Tough Guy.” Music had always been part of her life, with a family history in theatre. BENEE’s first instrument was a saxophone, playing it for several years, along with the guitar.

BENEE started posting music to Soundcloud in her final year of high school (2017), catching the attention of producer Josh Fountain. The pair went on the work together in several of her singles, including break-out single “Soaked” which was featured on triple j’s hottest 100 (2018).

After spending two weeks in a communications course at the Auckland Institute of Technology, Benee realised she wanted to be making music full-time.
