Strawberry Blond Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I love everybody because I love you
When you stood up, walked away barefoot
And the grass where you lay left a bed in your shape
I looked over it and I ached
[Verse 2]
I love everybody because I love you
I don't need the city and I don't need proof
All I need, darling, is a life in your shape
I picture it soft and I ache
[Pre-Chorus]
Look at you, strawberry blond
[Verse 3]
Reach out the car window, trying to hold the wind
You tell me you love her, I give you a grin
Oh, all I ever wanted was a life in your shape
So, I follow the white lines, follow the white lines
[Pre-Chorus]
Keep my eyes on the road as I ache
[Chorus]
Look at you, strawberry blond, fields rolling on
I love it when you call my name
Can you hear the bumblebees swarm? Watching your arm
I love it when you look my way
Look at you, strawberry blond, fields rolling on
I love it when you call my name
Can you hear the bumblebees swarm? Watching your arm
I love it when you look my way
[Post-Chorus]
Look at you, strawberry blond, fields rolling on
I love it when you call my name
Can you hear the bumblebees swarm? Watching your arm
I love it when you look my way
[Outro]
Isaiah, Isaiah, Isaiah
Isaiah, Isaiah, Isaiah
I love everybody because I love you
When you stood up, walked away barefoot
And the grass where you lay left a bed in your shape
I looked over it and I ached
I love everybody because I love you
I don't need the city and I don't need proof
All I need, darling, is a life in your shape
I picture it soft and I ache
Look at you, strawberry blond
Reach out the car window, trying to hold the wind
You tell me you love her, I give you a grin
Oh, all I ever wanted was a life in your shape
So, I follow the white lines, follow the white lines
Keep my eyes on the road as I ache
Look at you, strawberry blond, fields rolling on
I love it when you call my name
Can you hear the bumblebees swarm? Watching your arm
I love it when you look my way
Look at you, strawberry blond, fields rolling on
I love it when you call my name
Can you hear the bumblebees swarm? Watching your arm
I love it when you look my way
Look at you, strawberry blond, fields rolling on
I love it when you call my name
Can you hear the bumblebees swarm? Watching your arm
I love it when you look my way
Isaiah, Isaiah, Isaiah
Isaiah, Isaiah, Isaiah

From what I can gather, Strawberry Blonde is about jealousy, specifically towards a "strawberry blonde", a white girl. As much as she loves this person she can't seem to be completely happy with herself or enjoy her time with this person fully, watching this person and saying "I love it when you look my way/call my name" but also "all I ever wanted was a life in your shape- I picture it soft and I ache" I like the Juxtaposition of soft and ache in the same sentence. The upbeat tempo is slowed towards the end of the song, with Mitski longfully singing "isaiah", exposing her vunerability that was originally half hidden behind a upbeat song and lyrics with an undertone of sadness.
