"Probably about politics, finding common ground. The term "burying your head in the sand" is the usual go-to for one's lack of willingness to listen to others. Since I love trees, and like the idea of someone so unwilling to listen to others that they climb into a treehouse they built, I went with that metaphor instead."

[lyrics]
Kiss your friends and hug your enemies,
come back down when you've had time to think.
Your treehouse lies inside a tree,
Obviously, it's kind of obvious to me.
Okay, I guess I'll start,
My name is not important, but my actions have all been,
Don't take, my words to heart,
The blame is not a constant, it's just a distraction from the scene.
So pick a side you like,
But watch yourself 'cause friends will turn on you if you dare to dream.
So kiss your friends and hug your enemies,
And come back down when you've had time to think.
Your treehouse lies inside a tree,
Obviously, it's kind of obvious to me.
Let's take, a running start,
The speed is not important, it's the distance that we go.
They'll say, we're worlds apart,
We should focus on our orbit, that's the consistence we each know.
So look above at night,
And watch the stars 'cause they're the same for as your worst enemy.
So kiss your friends and hug your enemies,
And come back down when you've had time to think.
Your treehouse lies inside a tree,
Obviously, it's kind of obvious to me.
So kiss your friends and hug your enemies,
And come back down when you've had time to think.
Your treehouse lies inside a tree,
Obviously, it's kind of obvious to me.
