I think you make a very good point. It's defenitely supposed to be a message of encouragement to someone, obviously troubled. Possibly depressed and comtemplating suicide. "Stay, stay here and lie on back. Get down in the cornfields. Stay till we're caught at last" Suggests to me they are trying to show this person that there are parts of life worth appreciating.
