I

ne-

ver

came

to

the

beach

or

stood

by

the

o-

cean

I

ne-

ver

sat

by

the

shore

un-

der

the

sun

with

my

feet

in

the

sand

But

you

brought

me

here

and

I'm

hap-

py

that

you

did

'Cause

now/I'm

as

free

as

birds

cat-

ching

the

wind

I

al-

ways

thought

I

would

sink,

so

I

ne-

ver

swam

I

ne-

ver

went

boatin',

don't

get

how

they

are

floa-

tin'

And

some-

times

I

get

so

scared

of

what

I

can't

un-

der-

stand

But

here

I

am

Next

to

you

The

sky's

more

blue

In

Ma-

li-

bu

Next

to

you

In

Ma-

li-

bu

Next

to

you

We

watched

the

sun

go

down

as

we/were

walk-

ing

I'd

spend

the

rest

of

my

life

just

stand-

ing

here

talk-

ing

You

would

explain

the

cur-

rent,

as

I

just

smile

Ho-

ping

I

just

stay

the

same

and

no-

thing

will

change

And

it'll

be

us,

just

for

a/while

Do

we

e-

ven

e-

xist?

That's

when

I

make

the

wish

To

swim

a-

way

with

the

fish

Is

it/sup-

posed

to

be

this

hot

all

sum-

mer

long?

I

ne-

ver

would'-

ve

be-

lieved

you

If

three

years

a-

go

you

told

me

I'd

be

here

wri-

ting

this

song

But

here

I

am

Next

to

you

The

sky's

more

blue

In

Ma-

li-

bu

Next

to

you

In

Ma-

li-

bu

Next

to

you

Ah

Next

to

you

The

sky's

more

blue

In

Ma-

li-

bu

Next

to

you

We

are

just

like

the

waves

that/flow

back

and

forth

Some-

times

I

feel

like

I'm

drow-

ning

and

you're

there

to

save

me

And

I

wan-

na

thank

you

with

all

of

my

heart

It's

a

brand

new

start

A

dream

come

true

In

Ma-

li-

bu
