I am probably totally off on this, however: I see a response to a drunk dial. She still has feelings for the guy calling, but she's trying her hardest to get over him and BAM he shoves himself back in her face. She's talking to him, partly glad that he called her, partly mad because he's totally shitfaced, and partly irritated that he reminded her of him when she was so close to being over him. Not all of it makes sense, which is why I think I'm probably wrong, but some parts just work too perfectly and I was never able to think up anything better.
I like the hostage idea, however. It definitely fits with the lyrics. :)
