"Malibu" lyrics

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 catchin' 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
Oh, the sky's more blue in Malibu
Next to you in Malibu
Next to you

We watched the sun go down as we were walkin'
Now I'd spend the rest of my life just standing here talkin'
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 my wish to swim away with the fish
'Cause it's 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 more blue in Malibu
I'm next to you
Where the sky's more blue in Malibu
Next to you
