Cover art for Bedshaped lyrics by Keane

i think it's a combination of the ideas mentioned so far

"Many's the time I ran with you down The rainy roads of our old town Many the lives we lived in each day And buried altogether"

the couple had a long happy relationship but she left him (or vice versa)

"Don't laugh at me Don't look away You'll follow me back"

and he's begged and pleaded for her to come back but she thinks it's silly how he's reacted

"With the sun in your eyes And on your own Bedshaped And legs of stone You'll knock on my door And up we'll go In white light I don't think so"

now he's left dreaming about her coming back to him on her own. 'bedshaped' indicating that it's a dream (as in shaped by the bed, not shaped like a bed). the 'legs of stone' meaning that she'll never leave again.

"But what do I know What do I know? I know"

in his head he doubts she'll come back but he still believes she will in his heart
