Okay, I've seen some terrible explanations for this song on here, so I'm going to try my best to help Adam out here...
The song is clearly about a dream. "this is a world of dreams and reverie (2X)", and "scratched on the back of both my eyelids". And it appears to be a reoccurring one too: "it could've been just another dream". This dream must have seemed very realistic to him "...but I swear I heard you scream." Perhaps the dream seemed so realistic that he wanted to stay up all night and wait for it to happen: "Staying awake that night was rather hard."
Him and the other person (could've been a pal, but more likely a gal-pal/girlfriend because "If you were a beautiful sound.") are apparently camping in a backyard somewhere, just as setting to the story. It must be something they do as a couple.
Okay...so the part that says "when we woke up buried alive beneath the fruity land slide, we both laughed hysterically." This could've been what actually happened in the dream, or perhaps it's a metaphor (like, he told her the story of the dream, and got so into the description, it was as if they were both there, buried under the fruity landslide. And, sense they both thought it was a silly picture, they laughed hysterically.)
So, the verse that says "If you were a beautiful sound and 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." So, most of know that yelling/screaming/singing/echoing causes avalanches. So what he appears to be saying is that one of his greatest fantasies would be a world with citrus skies where you could sing in a loud chorus, bringing an avalanche of fruit on top of yourself... I don't blame him...sounds fun!
The explanations here are all just so self-satisfying, at most, amusing. They're mostly subjective to whoever posted them, nothing more. Even the self-righteous ones who think they have the same meaning as intended. It's basic psych really. If the first comment on the song is true, then that's basically the whole meaning of the song.
