Malibu

[Verse 1]
Crowded everywhere, but I still feel lonely
Everyone talks, they're full of bologna
Where can I run that I haven't already?
Hands start shakin' and my heart ain't steady
They say love and grief are a package deal
More you have, the more you feel
I had a dream, but I tried to forget it
What happened next, couldn't have guessed it

[Chorus]
I chased that dream all the way to Malibu
Some unfinished business to attend to
But I blamе myself, I don't blame you
For leaving mе stranded
In Malibu

[Verse 2]
You gave me a box full of darkness
Left me standing barefoot and carless
Take it all back, take it all back to zero
Used to be a loser, but now I'm a hero
Climbed the stairs 'til I got to the bottom
Grandpa always said, "Smoke 'em if you got 'em"
Spent half my days drunk on pills or pot
But I can't complain, 'cause I got a lot of

[Chorus]
Chased that dream all the way to Malibu
Got some unfinished business to attend to
But I blame myself, I don't blame you
For leaving me stranded
In Malibu

[Bridge]
California
A good place to be
But if you're gonna be stranded
It's better than Tennessee

[Chorus]
Chased that dream all the way to Malibu
With some unfinished business to attend to
But I blame myself, I don't blame you
For leaving me stranded
In Malibu

[Post-Chorus]
Malibu
