[Verse 1]
Hopped off the jet, can't forget I've got this feeling in my
Heart and my head, I can't let myself go running too far
Over the edge, take a breath
And hide it with a smile
But behind my teeth, wanna scream, there's something brewing deep down
Inside of me anxiety trying to rip through every
Crack, every seam, can't believe
It's followed me five thousand miles
[Chorus]
Gold Lamborghini melting under the sun
Prada bikini keeps on coming undone
This Beverly Hills house is falling apart
'Cause I'm not with you, got the Mali-blues
Diamonds don't fill holes in the heart
Drown in champagne, choke on caviar
This life ain't for me if you're not on my arm
When I'm not with you, I've got the Mali-blues
[Post-Chorus]
Mali-blues
[Verse 2]
My friends all have stars in their eyes, can't believe we get to
Wine and dine under the lights, watch the sunlight disappear
Behind the ocean line
Wish that I could hide there too
These butterflies trapped in my chest keep reminding me that
When we're apart I'm depressed, so I'm jumping on the
First flight back home, promise, baby, never let me go again
[Chorus]
Gold Lamborghini melting under the sun
Prada bikini keeps on coming undone
This Beverly Hills house is falling apart
'Cause I'm not with you, got the Mali-blues
Diamonds don't fill holes in the heart
Drown in champagne, choke on caviar
This life ain't for me if you're not on my arm
When I'm not with you, I've got the Mali-blues
[Post-Chorus]
Mali-blues
Mali-blues
[Bridge]
Palm trees, Sunset Boulevard, fancy girls and fancy cars
Might max out my credit card while I'm feeling numb
Trying to catch a Cali high 'cause I can't get you off my mind
When I kiss you, I'll be fine
[Chorus]
Gold Lamborghini melting under the sun
Prada bikini keeps on coming undone
This Beverly Hills house is falling apart
'Cause I'm not with you, got the Mali-blues
Diamonds don't fill holes in the heart
Drown in champagne, choke on caviar
This life ain't for me if you're not on my arm
When I'm not with you, I've got the Mali-blues
[Post-Chorus]
Mali-blues
Mali-blues
‘Maliblues’ was born from a feeling I couldn’t shake whilst on holiday in LA a couple of years ago. I went out to California for a week with an old friend on a private jet (not kidding) and ended up in a mansion in Malibu having a BBQ. I know that sounds made up, or maybe even dream-like, and trust...
