Lyrics:

Singer Laura Jane Grace has said that this song’s lyrics are about her own gender dysphoriaAnd if you follow the jaw line
Down over the heart
The curves of your bone and muscle
That make up your head to toe
It's just skin and thread
Stitches and ligaments
Words that we spoke
Only to regret
I know they're going to laugh at us
When they see us out together
Holding hands like this
They wouldn't understand it
If we told them all the reasons
Not that I think this deserves any kind of explanation
We can make it up so we've got a smile painted on
All the time
No matter what it's like on the inside
We'll keep this, keep us like a secret
Because if my family and friends ever found out
About the things we could never be
Haunts that we'll always keep
So fucking bittersweet
I know they're going to laugh at us
When they see us out together
Holding hands like this
They wouldn't understand it
If we told them all the reasons
Not that I think this deserves any kind of explanation
