Pretty straight forward - a man talking about how set he is/rigid/cold and his woman that is flexible/adaptable/warm - she improves him.

If you've ever seen a giant weeping willow (tree) you'd understand fully. They are beautiful elements in nature with their long branches that sway in the wind. I grew up around many weeping willows; we used to play sports and games with them overhead, but we were told by our elders never to climb them. They were very special trees. Sorry for the uninvited lesson; today is a day of reminiscing.
