I also had the resort picture in my head. Tan stone tiles and white iron railings on some kind of porch, covered in all sorts of tropical plants.
I took it as a guy with an unrequited love interest. The guy has an idealized image of her, even though she's kind of a skank "out runnin' 'round" every night. Meanwhile he spends his nights hoping that she'll come around and fall for him. The "dealing friends" part could mean that he's trying to use her friends as a way of getting closer to her (don't act like you've never heard of that). It's not working, so it leaves the hollow feeling.
So anyways, he's sitting there in a bar, slamming shots of liquid courage, but he still can't work up the nerve to make some kind of move. Eventually, he sinks into despair and accepts that things will never work out.

...Just a thought.
