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, baby.

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, baby.

Next to you

The sky's so blue

In malibu, baby

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.
