Lyrics

You didn't understand me then and you don't now
I'm not sure how much longer I can stick around
Pretending to be happy
I swear I'm never one to just leave on a dime
But there's something in that West Coast sunshine
It's where I'm meant to be
I can't stay, I'm so sorry

I'm leaving you
For Malibu
The ocean waves
Golden haze
Make me feel something
I'm leaving you
For Malibu
California
Speaks to me
In ways you never did
And I'm answering
Leaving you
For Malibu

Highway 1, a place where summer never dies
Surfers hangin' loose, catching the high tide
It's a million dollar view
Pacific dream finally becoming real
It's unlike anything you've ever made me feel
I'll send a postcard or two

I'm leaving you
For Malibu
The ocean waves
Golden haze
Make me feel something
I'm leaving you
For Malibu
California
Speaks to me
In ways you never did
And I'm answering
I'm leaving you
You
You
For Malibu
