[Verse 1:]
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.

 [bad word] ]
But here I am, next to you
The skies so blue in Malibu
Next to you in Malibu
Next to you

[Verse 2:]
We watched the sun go down as we were walking
I'd spent the rest of my life standing here talking
You would explain the current, as I try to smile
Hoping I just stay the same, and nothing will change
And it'll be us, just for a while
Do we 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.

 [bad word] ]
But here I am, next to you
The skies so blue in Malibu
Next to you in Malibu
Next to you
Next to you
The skies so blue in Malibu
Next to you.

[Outro:]
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
[bad word] [bad word] in Malibu
