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
Actually i believe that this song is talking about her leaving and then coming back to him. Bedshaped not meaning it's a dream rather the shape of her body. it says she will come back to him with the sun in her eyes, on her own, bedshaped (=her body is bedshaped from the long hours she spent crying on her bed), two legs of stone (she hasn't gone out or gotten out of bed for a really long time so it'll be hard for her to walk).
and then he says "i don't think so" meaning he won't allow her to...
