Lyrics

Be my mind
Don't like to think for myself, all of the time
And, be my soul
Look into these eyes like no one before
Be my light
Sunrise laughing, cause we stayed up all night
Be my map
We'll leave with all the treasure we can grab

I love a simple, clean, sweet guitar riff. This song feels good from the first measure.

 The song 'Strawberries' by Caamp uses various metaphors to express a deep longing for a close and supportive relationship. The lyrics compare different elements like mind, soul, light, map, lake, pride, house, blood, books, hands, and heart to symbolize the desire for a strong connection and partnership filled with love, support, and shared experiences.

Lyrics

Be my lake
Summer sand, and a strawberry milkshake
And be my pride
Stay under my skin, don't let me take what is not mine

And I'll paint your picture darling the best I can
Be my heart
I've got you in the end, I wish I had you from the start

Fun Fact Trivia:

Did you know that a strawberry is not a botanical berry?

According to Gulf Coast Research and Education Center; A strawberry is not a botanical berry but is a member of the rose family. The sweet, red part that we eat is not technically the fruit, but an enlarged part of the plant's stem called the receptacle. The true fruits are the tiny seed-like specks on the outside, known as achenes. 

Love is the greatest adventure!
