Everybody Loves A Happy Ending Lyrics

I love the mood change in this song. Not expected when hearing the introduction.

"(Wake up, wake up) You should be happy in the pink"

Just sounds to me like it's about a person who has missed the bigger picture in life, has wasted it and things are going to change very soon. The extreme repetition of "wake up" throughout the song is a type of realization.
