For me, this song is about being somebody's Light in all of their darkness. "It's a new day, it's a bright day even when you stand in the dark" - even while things around the person are bad, the world is bright and sunny "I'm the only light that you see (You need someone), I know all you needed was me" - he is the only one there for this person

@missthesunshine My thoughts also - and I think @BoomTownWhore's assessment of the meaning of this song was pretty accurate and fits along with this as well.
