I promised you open ocean glow
Mother of pearl, gold, and indigo
Cut through the waves, I watched you swim away
I'll never love you more than today
Would you be there
Be there
Be there for me
(In Miami)
(x2)
Now black light sets on my short day
Oh, you betrayed me, you gave it away
You don't mind picking up salt to rub into my wounds
Would you be there
Be there
Be there for me
(In Miami)
Would you betray me
Or save me
Save me from you
(In Miami)
(Miami bad) x16
Would you be there
Be there
Be there for me
(In Miami)
Would you betray me
Or save me
Save me from you
(In Miami)
Would you be there
Be there
Be there for me
(In Miami)
Would you betray me
Save me
Save me
(In Miami)
Mother of pearl, gold, and indigo
Cut through the waves, I watched you swim away
I'll never love you more than today
Be there
Be there for me
(In Miami)
(x2)
Oh, you betrayed me, you gave it away
You don't mind picking up salt to rub into my wounds
Be there
Be there for me
(In Miami)
Or save me
Save me from you
(In Miami)
Be there
Be there for me
(In Miami)
Or save me
Save me from you
(In Miami)
Be there
Be there for me
(In Miami)
Save me
Save me
(In Miami)

I found this: Yannis Philippakis told The NME: “It’s just to do with having bad experiences every summer on Greek beaches, where I’d have a crush on somebody and it wouldn’t go well. I’ve never been to Miami, but I wanted to set it there because I like the imagery of Scarface: bad suits, turquoise beaches and really white teeth.”
Makes sense to me!!
I did my best. I'm sure I may have botched up a few lines. Let me know if anyone has suggestions and I will correct whatever is agreed upon.
By the way... The "Miami bd" part over the choruses, I'm pretty sure it's saying Miami, but I have no clue what the second word is. I just put "bd" for filler until someone figures it out.

Thanks Demon. Not sure how I missed that (In Miami) part. Now that you've pointed it out it's crystal clear.

Miami is a wonderful place located in the sunshine state. It is all about the kind of happiness that comes along with beaches and fun in the sun. It is a vacation destination that is warm. Miami is the place in his mind that is inverse to the situation he is dealing with in a relationship with someone at his home. Many people use their imaginations to escape a situation that is tough to deal with.
This song is about someone betraying something for something else more superficial

saw them in boston, and the explanation he gave was, "this song is about losing your dignity at the beach . . . which tends to happen to me a lot."
love this song. wish i knew what miami had to do with the song.
Im watching this Coachella live stream, and as is said above, Yannis stated "it's about a bad experience at the beach."Anyway, great band. Not their strongest lyrics, but incredible groove
I thought it was "Miami bug".
