Cover art for Reading in Bed lyrics by Emily Haines & the Soft Skeleton

I kind of always thought of the first two verses coming -after- the last verse. What I mean is the first two verses are about the "lives unled." It's saying, Get out of bed, get out of your stories and instead, get out there and make your own happiness and stop hiding.

To me, it's a cheer up song. I've been addicted to it. With all the luck I've had, why are my songs so sad?
