Got me figured out. What a doggone situation.
Wrap your finger around bad intention.
While I'm all alone with a foregone altercation,
Best believe, I am here for you to call.
And I'll crawl home to the house on the street with the big bad tree.
No. I won't run away.
All that I've got is you.
If you're asking me,
Honestly, I think this love could be blissful.
Definitely, worth it.
By default of the tree, this love could be blissful.
Most definitely, worth it.
What becomes of a city with you and I no longer in it?
With arguments, the little things seem petty,
When you already have my heart reminding you to call,
And I'll crawl
To the house on the street with the big bad tree.
You know I won't run away.
All that I've got is you.
Home & Security
The "big bad tree" becomes the album's most powerful symbol of rootedness and security. Unlike the solitary tree from "The Mixture," this is a shared sanctuary - a place where vulnerability is strength and "crawling home" represents conscious choice rather than defeat. It's about finding home in another person.
Natural Commitment
"By default of the tree" suggests that this love feels inevitable and natural - not forced or negotiated, but as organic as the tree itself. It's a beautiful way of expressing how some relationships feel predestined, rooted in something deeper than conscious decision.
