I think this song is about perseverance in intimate relationships. I think he is communicating to his girl that he will never quit her, and (practically) begging her to do the same.
The first two verses are about the overwhelming odds against them. The last two are how the doldrums of life are a prison to him while he can only think of her, and their problems. When one gets into this sort of funk, it may seem that the partner is indifferent, for lack of passion, hence the T.V. Page line.
The closing line about the shadows is simply an acknowledgment that he will always have to be vigilant and chained to this love.
I tend to think the title, and chorus holds a double meaning..
Hey now, hey now --- Consoling, there there..
Don't dream it's over --- don't ever think I'll be the one to let go
and -
Hey now, hey now --- Wake up, HELLO!!!
Don't dream it's over --- Don't think it's going to get any easier, love takes work.
