The song is clearly one long metaphor or analogy. "There was a storm last night" could easily refer to some kind of fight between people, not knowing who or what is right and in the second verse someone clearly wants things to go back to how things were before these things were said.
The chorus describes someone else in the way it can be interpreted. It dosn't fit in with the previous lyrics in that its more of a forsaken onlooker trying to piece everything together. Whomever or whatever the person is looking for (I think is the subject in the first 2 versus) is important enough to always keep a shining light aimed at.
This is a great song from a great band. Moody Motorcycle is a kick ass debut and I can't believe I'm the first to comment on any of their songs.
I agree with your general idea. I think that the metaphor of a lighthouse is also about the narrator trying to guide the arguers, so that they would make up, possibly a son and two parents?
