Malibu
Miley Cyrus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 is more blue
In Malibu
Next to you
In Malibu
Next to you
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 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 is so blue
In Malibu
Next to you
In Malibu
Next to you
Next to you
The sky is so blue
In Malibu
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
In Miley Cyrus’s song “Malibu,” the singer discusses how love can transform a person and allow them to experience new things. Starting with the admission that she had never spent time at the beach or appreciated the ocean, the singer sings of how the person she loves brought her to Malibu and now she is as “free as birds catching the wind”. Throughout the rest of the song, she talks about how even though she was scared of what she couldn’t understand, she felt safe and free when she was with this person. The singer expresses gratitude towards the person she loves and wishes that they can be together always.
The song's lyrics also touch upon how love has transformed Miley's life in general. She ponders how her life has changed and how she never expected to be in a position where she was writing a song in Malibu. The ocean serves as a metaphor for the ebb and flow of life, and her love for the person next to her is the one thing that remains constant.
The song is an ode to Miley's fiancé, Liam Hemsworth. The two rekindled their relationship in 2016 after a three-year break. Their previous relationship ended after Hemsworth proposed to her, but the couple called things off a year later.

As you said so yourself, Miley,
"You can change your hair,
You can change your clothes.
You can change your mind
That's just the way it goes.
You can say goodbye and you can say hello.
But you'll always find your way back home"
Glad you find your way back home ^^
