I got the impression it was about dealing with a person who's an addict. They're tossing their life away (or their relationship with the person trying to help them). The "paper model plan glued to your spine" gave me a visual of a person with paper wings, who thinks they can fly but they only crash down. "Hell of a night" and "you're soaked through" and "you closed the bar" make me think of someone who's addicted to partying and brings a lot of drama to the scene.
