i think it's about this young couple who obviously are living together it's sort of tearing them apart with the realization that living on their own is harder than they expected, despite how they feel for one another.
the idea i get from the first verse is that this "storm" that he mentions is perhaps a reference to a fight they've been having over and over. the shutting of the windows seems to imply his wanting just to shut it out of his mind and move on from it."I’m alone but I wait for someone, One who keeps the lights on, One who keeps the house warm" brings to mind that maybe she's the real breadwinner of the household, and he's not exactly pulling his weight which is a main cause of their troubles. while she's away at work trying to do what she can to keep a roof over their head, he's left alone with the thought of this and it kills him due to the traditional thought of the man being the main provider of the household.
"I feel a swaying rhythm, If we get swept to see i'll be happy, It's all we wish for now" by that i think he's saying that he wishes they could just wash away all of their animosity towards each other but it's easier said than done because the problem's still there."We have enough we can handle it, If we don’t make I will fall apart." he's saying that even though they struggle, they have each other and it's all that they really need because without her he's nothing and has nothing and he realizes this so maybe he tries to step up and do more than he's been doing. "All is in vain for us" isn't about being selfish or things happening to no avail, but implies that everything he's doing, he's doing it for them and the sake of salvaging their love.
the last verse "I think we can make it now, I think that we can make it" is his hope to her that now things have changed and with their love, they can pull through and survive it all with one another by their sides. so yeah, that's what i think it's about.
