The song does have uncanny resemblances to the book 'Lolita'.

'My old man' - usually a term given to a father figure, however in this song, she calls her love interest by this name.

'Chasing me all over town' - does this not seem appropriate for when Lolita disappears from the hospital, and therefore Humbert travels all over town to try and find her.

Also, the high pitched, almost child like singing voice of the chorus reflects Lolita, who was a child herself.

Well, I love the song. It's in my top 3 list of the best LANA DEL REY songs.
