not necessarily "young" girls, IMO, but girls who are just with him for what he can give them. and even though they have no emotional investment in him, he finds himself always falling for them and coming back to them.
I first heard this JUST as I was starting to get over my ex (a young girl both literally and in this song's meaning) and it just killed me. I wasn't a fan of this guy before, but now I am really very impressed by him. not only a great pop songwriter, but amazingly skilled vocalist as well.
I see it as a guy who is lonely and attaches himself to girls who provide with him unhealthy and - eventually - destructive relationships. and I can only say "been there, done that, still going to therapy over it". the song really moved me and also opened my eyes to my own behaviour with girls.
