This song was written by Pete Wentz after his unsuccessful suicide attempt. He dealt with depression, and this was a beautiful way to vocalize it. He wrote this, making sure each lyric was so carefully thought out. And Patrick sang it very well, especially his acoustic. This song strips down so many barriers, showing that punk kids have feelings too.

I've got troubled thoughts
And the self esteem to match,
What a catch
And the self esteem to match,
What a catch
This is putting a sardonic spin on the common term, " a catch", which means someone who would be a good romantic/etc partner. It comes from fishermen, because when they caught a good fish, they would abbreviate to just "a catch." The music video is also on a boat, to emphasize this and another lyric in the second verse. He is talking about how he is "screwed up" with his mental health, saying that nobody would actually love him because of his issues.

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
This is the beat of my heart
This is the beat of my heart
This could mean the "oh oh ohs" in the back, or more likely, it means that the song itself is the beat of his heart. Perhaps he is talking about when you tell someone a large important secret about yourself, and you're trying to convince them of the truth of it.

She paints her fingers with a close precision
He starts to notice empty bottles of gin
And takes a moment to assess the sins she's paid for

The woman (Mona Lisa) is painting her nails, which many people do. but the man is also seeing bottles alcohol that aren't (presumably) his. He wonders what bad things may have happened to her before they met/ began working together.
