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
