I think this song isn't actually about comparing a past love to a current love, i think it is all about one person, "you" and "the girl" are the same person. i think it is a love song, possibly about fond memories from his relationship with this person. it is just too specific to be about two people.
I agree with this until the tone of her falling down again and again. That to me sounds almost condescending, like she has been a fool all of this time from the girl she used to be to the woman she is now. Always falling for him again and again, and he tried to catch her, but in the end he doesn't really love her, and never even really caught her name. Unrequited love pity, with a dash of cruelty, that she was not even worthy of remembering her name.

@sage.charcoal I agree the two women in the song are actually one and the same. To me it's a reference to meeting someone who used to attend the same parties as you. Both of you would be so drunk and drugged up that you wouldn't really know what happened between you and names didn't really matter. Now, he is meeting the same woman again in later life.
