The way I interpreted the overall song was that about a love between a boy and girl, both of which are supposedly too "young" to be thinking of such things. Maybe around ten years old or something. The girl wants to be with the boy, and vice versa. But "it's hard to be a boy if you're a girl, it's hard to be a girl if you're a boy." At these younger ages, boys and girls typically hang out with those in the same gender. A young boy is ridiculed by his peers as being sissy if he decides to play with the girl. A girl is a tomboy if she wants to play sports with the boy. These gender roles keep them apart. But, if she were a squirrel, and he were a bunny, it wouldn't really matter. Sure they'd be different, but they could frolic together all they wanted, without judgment, without a care in the world. Beautiful, beautiful song if you look at it that way.
