The lyrics have some darkness in them, sure, but the song seems to me to be more about hope than anything. All of the dark stuff resolves into the chorus (Love don't let me go) and the second verse in particular resolves from "Time came creeping, oh time's a loaded gun" to "Still, it's such a beautiful night." The song shows the author/singer looking at the world and having no delusions about it being perfect, but still being able to see the goodness and beauty in it (even man-made beauty, 'cause those streetlights glowing are just awesome).
