This is pretty clearly about Mark Hoppus being diagnosed with Stage 4 Lymphoma. The first verse deals with the phone call he received from his doctor, the second verse addresses his chemotherapy and how his wife wasn't allowed to touch him or even use the same bathroom as him for several days after radiation treatment. The bridge references Mark accidentally revealing his diagnosis on his public Instagram account, which led to him reading comments on Reddit and other platforms from fans assuming he would pass away and saying their final goodbyes.
