I've been meaning to cut back
I've had too much caffeine
And you're so good at herbal tea
Getting enough sleep

You kiss the stars
I yell at the moon
'Cause how could anybody
Blame you?

When you're strawberry blonde
And everything that's sweet
And you've done nothing wrong
So how could I compete?
Hmm, hmm

Ripped shirt from the thrift store
But you make it look pretty
I'm thinking maybe I love you
Or I really just hate me

If I am the water
Then you are the moon
'Cause you know I'm only doing this
Because it's you

When you're strawberry blonde
And everything that's sweet
And you've done nothing wrong
So how could I compete?

Valerie, I don't wanna hate you
Feeling things I'm not supposed to
If you were me
Then tell me what would you do?
Late night listening to records
Your favorite song was always "Heather"
Valerie, do you remember
Everything the way I do?

'Cause you're strawberry blonde (Strawberry, strawberry)
You've done nothing wrong
Strawberry blonde (Strawberry, strawberry)
And everything that's sweet (Strawberry, strawberry)
And you've done nothing wrong
So how the hell am I supposed to compete?

When you're honey lemon
With puffy kisses
Stained on both your stupid cheeks

Hey, Valerie (Valerie, Valerie)
Hey, Valerie (Valerie, Valerie)
Could I be you?
Could I be you?
Instead of me
