Her lover is so strongly present in her thoughts he’s now even part of her bones, metaphorically of course. Her lover is essential to her emotional wellbeing, just like bone marrow.
This feeling makes her want to relive with her lover pre-fame memories, and hide in comfort from her new lifestyle.
It’s also noteworthy that the usage of “Hideaway” here may be a possible allusion to Daya’s debut single “Hide Away” since she later appeared as the vocalist on The Chainsmokers' follow up hit “Don’t Let Me Down”.

Sometimes a parent will punish a child who said obscenities by putting soap in their mouth, in an attempt to rid them of such “dirty” language.
Martinez told Fuse:
In my life, this [song] is when I started talking to a new boy. It was really hard for me to explain or tell him how I felt, because I was scared of how he would react, so I just felt like I needed to wash out my mouth with soap, and constantly hide how I felt.
The song’s instrumental was heavily inspired by this concept — songwriter Emily Warren shared on her commentary playlist, “Write on Track”:
We were like ‘What if we make a drop that sounds like soap bubbles popping?’ And Kyle Shearer, the producer, was like ‘Oh, hell yeah!’ And so he crushed it and made a crazy beat and it turned into this song.
