"Here to Fall" seems to be written with the current state of the world (economics, politics, etc.) in mind, but instead of dating and trivializing the message of the song with current affairs references, YLT does the intelligent thing (do they know any other way?) and leave the lyrics somewhat simple and open-ended. Love it.
It's essentially about worrying about what the future holds when you're on less-than-steady ground, and taking a measure of solace in going through the future with someone else, because, as Ira says, what else is there for us to do? The metaphor about the light seems to be about simple cause-and-effect and is a clever way of asking "can you be satisfied?" And the worries about the future could be as short-reaching as the next day, or as far-reaching as worrying about death, if you take a hint from some of the other songs on the album (The Fireside, for example).
