"I lost my leg like I lost my way So no loose ends Nothing to see me down How are we going to work this out?"

I think that this is referring to is that the relationship has no loose ends, no kids essentially, and that there's nothing to pad his fall from this one. Also stating that he wants things to work out.

"Dreams aren't bad, I had to admit I love the girl But God only knows it's Getting harder to see the sun coming through I love you But what are we going to do?"

He loved her, his ideals of a future with her he sees as so bright, but that's fading more and more, he's become more resolved that there's no way it can happen

"Picture I'm the dreamer I'll take you deeper Down to the sleepy glow Time is a low Don't you know? What are we going to do?"

He's saying he's so hopeful and ignoring reality, that by prolonging things with his hopes he keeps them both in a low place. There's only so much time in life he's coming to realize.

"When you go down All the sick and selfless days"

I agree that this is her falling, her down emotionally, due to all the selfless days that were tainted by dreams rather than validated by the present situation

"I want to see you again I love you But what are we going to do? "

He loves her, wants to be close to her, see her, but he knows things aren't right.
