This song is about someone who keeps telling the speaker (ie Conor) that they have changed or are going to change for the better. Perhaps, love has changed them, or they're just all around idealistic. The speaker is cynical, perhaps this person has failed before, or habitually lets the speaker down. The sincerity Conor speaks "I know you want to" makes me think that this song isn't intended to cut. It's just a graveled honesty.
