[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

Originally making songs in his basement for his friends as Sky Sailing, Adam Young then discovered synth music and became Owl City, releasing two relatively unpopular albums Maybe I’m Dreaming and Of June before making his hit single “Fireflies” which made his third album as Owl City, Ocean Eyes a hit.

After this worldwide success he put on two more albums, All Things Bright and Beautiful in 2011, and The Midsummer Station in 2012. In 2014 he released an EP, Ultraviolet, composed of 4 songs whom one would appear on his following album, Mobile Orchestra. Retiring from Owl City in 2016 to focus on Adam Young Scores, a new project made of orchestral soundtracks about historic events, he reappeared in 2017 to tease his upcoming new album Cinematic, with the release of a series of three EPs, called Reel 1 , 2 and 3.
