I never came

to the beach

or stood by the ocean

I never sat by the shore

under the sun

with my feet in the sand

but you brought me here

and I'm happy that you did

'Cause now I'm as free

as birds

catching the wind

I always thought

I would sink

so I never swam

I never went boatin'

don't get how

they are floatin' and

sometimes I get so scared

of what I can't understand

But here I am

Next to you

The sky's more blue

In Malibu

Next to you

In Malibu

Next to you

We watched

the sun go down

as we were walking

I'd spend the

rest of my life

just standing

here talking

You would explain

the current

as I just smile

Hoping that you'll

stay the same

and nothing will change

and it'll be us

just for a while

Do they even exist?

That's when

I make the wish

to swim away

with the fish

Is it supposed

to be this hot

all summer long?

I never would've

believed you

if three years ago

you told me I'd be here

writing this song

But here I am

Next to you

The sky's so blue

In Malibu

Next to you

In Malibu

Next to you

Aaaaaaaaaah

Aah aah aah

Aaaaaaaaaah

aah aah aah

aah aah aaah aah

next to you

The sky's so blue

In Malibu

Next to you

We are just like

the waves

that flow

back and forth

Sometimes I feel like

I'm drowning and you're

there to save me

and I wanna thank you

with all of my heart

It's a brand new start

a dream come true

in Malibu
