Maybe wrong, but my first impression (and second and third and so on) was that this song is written for a person who is considering suicide. The speaker is saying Yeah, it's easy to sleep and get away from life when you're dead (obviously), but look at all the good things you'll miss out on--and for what? An eternity doing nothing, being nothing; just keep living and enjoy what time you have here, make the best of it and enjoy the small things like cider in the fall, or the smiles from the people you love.

I love this song.
