This song explores a fictional world filled with fruit mountains, avalanches, and constellations, which is later revealed to be an elaborate imaginative romp during an outdoor sleepover. It was one of the two promotional singles for Ocean Eyes, along with “Hot Air Balloon”.

[Verse 1]
This is a world of dreams and reverie
Where I felt the stars explode around me
A grass blade flashed with a gleam
As it slashed open a moonbeam
And I stared back breathlessly
As mountains of fruit tumbled out
I barely had the chance to shout
"Oh strawberry avalanche, crash over me!"
[Verse 2]
Staying awake that night was rather hard
Deep in a sleeping bag in your back yard
When we woke up buried alive
Beneath the fruity landslide
We both laughed hysterically
It could've been just another dream
But I swear I heard you scream
"Oh strawberry avalanche, crash over me!"
[Bridge]
Hope is a citrus constellation in the galaxy
Scratched on the back of both my eyelids
That I've been dying to see (dying to see)
[Verse 3]
If you were a beautiful sound in the echoes all around
Then I'd be your harmony
And we'd sing along with the crowds
Beneath the candy coated clouds
"Oh strawberry avalanche, please crash over me."
[Outro]
This is a world of dreams and reverie
Where I felt the stars explode around me
