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 (oohh)

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

But here I am
Next to you
The sky's so blue
In malibu
Next to you
In malibu
Next to you (oohh)
In malibu
