When I hear this song I think of someone who is looking back on a relationship. The first verse is kind of a query that would be similar to this couple trying to figure out if it will work after everything in their past. They are different people now and they are looking back at the "wild and young" feeling from when they first got together. The second verse seems to comment on the feeling of desperation sometimes between a couple undergoing a fair amount of uncertainty.
The chorus is where you get a sense of what is going on. The relationship had its typical trend with a spark of a start ("the lights will draw you in"). Then that faded and the real world set in along with problems that eventually drove the two apart ("the dark will bring you down, and the night will break your heart"). And then later the two figured out that they really did love each other and got back together ("and love can mend your heart"). That change of the last live of the chorus suggests that love is the answer to "the dark" of a relationship and is what will stop "the night" from breaking your heart and ending a relationship. The singer is saying that this is something worthwhile and that you are lucky if you experience it. He claims its lucky beacuse the loss teaches you just how important the person is to you and how much you love them. And he is also saying that if they love you and mend your broken heart you are equally as lucky. I love his music and love this song.
