To me the song seems to be about a co-existing counterpart to their song "sunshine".
This song, to me, feels like it’s about an on-going relationship. And how confusing that relationship is, and even though it brings you headaches and storms, it’s comforting and something you both need, and it has once brought about sunshine and love. As hard as it is for you and even though part of you wants to leave and escape the headache of being with someone, your heart still knows you should probably stay. The last thing you want to do is hurt that person who meant so much to you at one point. But still, he's thrown away their relationship before, done wrong by her, made his mistakes, and she’s obviously been with other people since. Now, they've both changed since they first met, but through all of their storms, they're still looking for some sunshine, or a glimmer of light to make it all worth while, maybe try to work things out and be there for each other...
Maybe I’m an optimist...
But that’s how I relate the lyrics to real life...
