Hannah has said the the song is “about death”.
She explained further:

[Verse 1]
I know it's hard but you've gotta see this
Don't fall asleep or you're gonna miss it
In the grip but you're closer than you know
Your body's stuck here with its diseases
When we survive into living fear
Surely there is somewhere else to go?
[Pre-Chorus]
And I was surprised when you came over to say goodbye
And you said, "Who was I to hope?", and I said
[Chorus]
Please, please, come back to me
And I said
Please, please, come back to me
I'm sorry I forgot it
[Verse 2]
I know you're doubtful but I'm believing
I bet you questioned everything you knew
If you can't adjust and you'll never change, you know
[Pre-Chorus]
And I was surprised when you came over to say goodbye
And you said, "Who was I to hope?", so I said
[Chorus]
Please, please, come back to me
And I said
Please, please, come back to me
And I said
Please, please, come back to me
And I said
Please, please, come back to me
I'm sorry I forgot it
