The protagonist is keeping secrets and hiding them like threads in her clothes. Her partner tells her that it's just skin touching skin and there's nothing to worry about. But innocence can be easily lost and she can feel her partner's breath and warmth as a reminder. She asks him to share his troubles and show her his vulnerabilities, saying that it's just skin touching skin. She wants him to color his thoughts in red and let go of any darkness that might be holding him back. She repeats that it's only skin touching skin, trying to reassure herself. The song ends by reaffirming that it's just skin, skin touching skin.
