For me, this song is about a man being nostalgic about the early part of his relationship. Now, however, he is no longer happy. His wife is consistently disappointed with him. The hornets represent the realities of life in the paradise dream of sitting in a tree. Reality produces regret and doubt and a want to get out.
Not really sure what smoking the out is about. Not sure if he wants to clear the air (smoking out revenge and doubt), or he is realizing that they're headed for another fight (smoking the hornets out of the nest so they can be stung again).
@Redhawk30 Smoking out is one way to get rid of a hornet's nest, but just about any tips on getting rid of a hornets nest will say, WHEN you get stung, not IF.
Revenge and doubt are exactly the things you feel when trying to get rid of a hornet's nest. I'm gonna get you buggers, but I'm worried you're gonna get me too.
So sometimes people just go on with the status quo of their lives, because "smoking them out" is going to be painful anyway.
Beautiful song.
