Holding Someone's Hair Back Lyrics
Don't say a word
Don't be grateful if I ever made you laugh
Let's make believe
What's at stake here is more than just your reputation
She's got the photos but no recollection
He's got the motive but no transportation
Purely courteous across her chest
Are you cutting me out now
After crawling inside
Turn away your head
What do I deserve
What do I deserve instead
It's a surprise you haven't caught on yet
It's nothing personal, you're an embarrassment
Don't cut me out
We're offering nothing but the best accommodations
Just tell us who you are
Just tell us who you are
We're offering nothing but the best accommodations
Just tell us who you are
Just tell us who you are
Turn away your head
What do I deserve
What do I deserve instead
It's a surprise you haven't caught on yet
It's nothing personal, you're an embarrassment
Don't cut me out
It's a surprise you haven't caught on yet
It's nothing personal, you're an embarrassment
Don't cut me out
Don't be grateful if I ever made you laugh
Let's make believe
What's at stake here is more than just your reputation
She's got the photos but no recollection
He's got the motive but no transportation
Are you cutting me out now
After crawling inside
What do I deserve
What do I deserve instead
It's nothing personal, you're an embarrassment
Just tell us who you are
Just tell us who you are
We're offering nothing but the best accommodations
Just tell us who you are
Just tell us who you are
What do I deserve
What do I deserve instead
It's nothing personal, you're an embarrassment
It's nothing personal, you're an embarrassment

To me I'd say this song was about an ex or girl he used to see, and now she wasn't interested in him anymore, but he still was in her. And that one time they would be drinking with freinds and she'd end up puking so he'd take care of her all night "holding her hair back" and making sure she's safe "we're offering nothing but the best accomodations" and not taking advantage of her while doing so "purely courteous across her chest"
But then in the morning she had forgotten or didn't want to thank him for what he had done for her.
Well that's what I'd say anyway, but the previous suggestions all make sense aswell.
raped? you guys are all off...this song is obviously about a travel agent trying to book a nice hotel room for someone who has a history of committing identity fraud. in the beginning its the guy who is saying he only likes to book hotels under other people's identities and now that he is caught, he doesn't want to do it anymore, doesn't want to remember the good ole times.
but the travel agent comes back and says, come on we have really good rooms and rates, a plethora of amenities, we just need two forms of identification. the agent doesn't catch on that is no longer fun, and he is on to different types of fraud, such as insurance or something like that. i think it was inspired by the movie "Catch me if you can" duh!
plus one just because haha

I definitely see how this relates to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. However we all relate to music differently and it's why we listen.
I can almost see a kid or a guy who is probably not the "coolest" among his peers having a crush on a popular chick. They meet up at a party and he hooks up with her. She doesn't remember anything because she was too drunk and doesn't remember anything. The word maybe got out - hence the pictures that she doesn't remember. It didn't come from him because he doesn't have transportation - or drive or agenda.
After talking to her after the incident she acts like she doesn't know him. She turns away instead and the guy doesn't know what he did wrong. He doesn't know why he should deserve this kind of resentment. You crawled into my heart and now you're ignoring me.
"it's a surprise you haven't caught on yet it's nothing personal you're an embarassment."
I can picture the girl literally saying this to him. As if he were quoting. Telling him that he's nobody and he should forget about the whole thing.
Obviously he doesn't want to be cut out. He wants to know her. He wants to know who she really is as a person as he promises his love. The "best accommodation."
@nathanst67c Wow, didn't expect to read how this movie relates to the track. Awesome movie.
