Well, always hard being the first to comment, but I think this song is pretty easy. It's about someone worrying about daily life and it's so bad that he can't even sleep, but in the daily life there are little things that make it worthwhile (write a song to sing), and he realizes it isn't such a bad, bad, world, and someone who sort of convinced him into thinking it was, and he's now trying to tell them, you were wrong, it isn't such a bad, bad, world. Any other ideas?

Song Meaning

I agree completely, oddone! Love how the cheery hook sort of "overpowers" the sadder verses. Wonder why they ended the whole song with the last two lines of the verses though...
