Well, I'm pretty sure 'Lolita' refers to Vladimir Nabokov's novel... I guess the rest of the song could relate to the rest of the novel (the protagonist has a pedophilic obsession with a 12 year old named Lolita) but it doesn't seem so. 'Some set of morals I can't fake' could refer to being unable to feel remorse for this unhealthy obsession, but other parts seem different. I don't believe the protagonist in the book sees Lolita as someone he is saving, and if I'm not mistaken there is no culmination of his love (copulation) but there are some sexual favors exchanged. Still, overall the tone of the song is more like regret, guilt, almost pleading (in my opinion) where as in the book, the protagonist experiences brief bouts of guilt but does not seem overly apologetic, so perhaps 'Oh Lolita' is just a reference and the rest of the song is about something different...I don't know.
