I have a different take. I see this song as representing a very simple, uncomplicated life, where basic things are appreciated. Being "cozy in your little room" is something many people would be happy with.
@swami7774 I don't think the protagonist is happy.

Things didn't work out the way they hoped, but they don't have the energy to do anything about. They are resigned to a life half-lived.
