[Verse 1] Ocean air in my jacket Maps spread out on the dash You trace lines with your finger Laughing hard at our lack of a plan Red sun in the rearview Salt stuck tight in your hair Every sign says “keep driving” Like the road knows we’re a pair [Pre-Chorus] You say “we’re chasing nothing” I say “that’s close enough” If this is just a moment I don’t want more than us [Chorus] Midnight over Malibu Silver waves on avenue view You turn the dial I turn to you Singing every line like it’s all brand new If this is all we ever do Getting lost in a sky that’s blue on blue I could spend my whole life Under midnight over Malibu (oh yeah) [Verse 2] Cheap motel by the highway Key stuck twice in the door Room smells faintly like summer And somebody else before You dance slow with the curtains City glow on your skin Every move says “forever” Even if it’s 4 AM [Pre-Chorus] You say “we don’t belong here” I say “we never did” We built our own little border On the edge of what is [Chorus] Midnight over Malibu Silver waves on avenue view You turn the dial I turn to you Singing every line like it’s all brand new If this is all we ever do Getting lost in a sky that’s blue on blue I could spend my whole life Under midnight over Malibu (woo-oo) [Bridge] Maybe in another year We’re two dots on different maps Different cars Different coastlines Different questions to ask But tonight the tide’s in time With the beating in my chest If this is where the world ends I don’t need all the rest (hey!) [Chorus] Midnight over Malibu Silver waves on avenue view You turn the dial I turn to you Singing every line like it’s all brand new If this is all we ever do Getting lost in a sky that’s blue on blue I could spend my whole life Under midnight over Malibu
