Intro :
I never came to the beach or s tood by the oce an
I never sat by the s hore under the s un with my feet in the s and
But you brought me here and I'm happy that yo u did
'Cause now I'm as free as birds ca tching the wind
I always thought I would sink so I ne - ver swam
I n ever went boatin' don't g et how they are floatin'
And s ometimes I get so s cared of what I can't und erstand
But here I a m ne xt to yo u
The sky is m ore blue in Ma libu
Next to y ou i n Mal ibu
Next to y ou
We watched the sun go down as we were wa lking
I'd spent the rest of my life standing he re talking
You would explain the current as I try to smi le
H oping I just stay the s ame and nothing will c hange
And it'll be u s just for a w hile. Do we even e xist?
That's when I make th e wish to swim aw ay with the f ish
Is it supposed to be this hot all summer long?
I never would've bel ieved you if three years a go you told me
I'd b e here writing t his song
But here I a m ne xt to yo u
The sky is s o blue in Ma libu
Next to y ou i n Mal ibu
Next to y ou
Next to y ou
The sky's s o blue in Ma libu
Next to y ou
We are just like the waves that flow back an d forth
S ometimes I feel like I'm drowning
And you're there to sa ve me
And I wanna thank you with all of my heart
It's a brand new start
A dream c ome true in Ma - l ibu
