Yet another U2 song that could conceivably be sung to God. My favorite bit is in the beginning, where Bono basically admits just how tempted he is to sin ('I want to get it wrong/Can't always be strong'). This interpretation admittedly seems to make the 'whispers and moans' line a little awkward, but 'Your love was like a light bulb hanging over my bed' to me seems to express that God loves His children even when they don't know He does. And if anyone's 'love is like a secret that's been passed around,' it's Christ's (who also was buried for three days like a treasure that can't be found).
You can also interpret this as a run of the mill romantic love song. That's the beauty of U2 lyrics.
