i believe the song is about a man who loves because he loves to be in love. he loves the action of love and all its consuming powers, though he is not in love with a specific individual. i agree completely with the idea of unattachment, but not so that he can commit to someone... singing "beauty, there's nobody near me, there never was" shows his commitment as a lover of love, no strings attached.
it took me a long while to finally come to this conclusion. i used to think it was the sweetest song of devotion and trust. but really, its about the lies people allow themselves to feel when they believe someone is truly in love with them when, really, they never were.
