Haha, you guys break me up. Yeah, it's clearly an ode to the sport of skateboarding and the profound influence it's had on Jason's life.
Actually, the meaning is quite clear if you listen to the version found on the "What Happened to the Fambly Cassette" album that you can get from Jason's site, jasonlytle.com.
And now, for posterity, the lyrics from the aforementioned version:
"The name of this song is Skateboarding Saves Me Twice
And I named it this because
When I was a little kid skateboarding saved me from becoming a meathead or a jock
Or a stupid jerk bully that beat up people and it made me a nice kid
La da
La da la da da
So that was the first time that it saved me (when I was a little kid)
The second time it saved me is when I grew up to be older
'Cause every time I wanted to go out and get into some trouble
I decided it would be a better idea maybe to go skate somewhere
And if I'm too hungover it's too hard to go skateboarding
So it makes me not wanna do things that make me get hungover
So that's pretty much the main reason why I named the song Skateboarding Saves Me Twice
When actually it saved me a whole bunch of times but the song is about how it saved me twice"
