i think that this song is about a guy who gets into a relationship for the wrong reasons, not because he is in love, but because its better than being alone. he is so depressed when he is alone that once someone new comes along, he thinks he's fallen in love with them. he tries to convince himself that he really loves her but he just never will be able to stay with one person for too long. finally he realizes he's tired of the girl and leaves her, drifting along till someone else finds him. the girl realized he didnt love her early into the relationship but just stays with him, because she too would rather be with him than alone. the way pinnochio is used metaphorically is brilliant
