Jack The Lion Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Nero 

Cover art for Jack The Lion lyrics by Harvey Danger

maybe it's about the narrator and an old friend he lost contact with and things became awkward:

"Finally get a moment alone with the old man He's having trouble breathing and he's not the only one He wonders where time goes And why we haven't spoken for so long"

so yea, it's probably about old friendships and shit like that and the awkwardness of meeting the old man, jack, on his deathbed and feeling sorry and stupid for not keeping in touch because of being too lazy.
