Diane, the Skyscraper Lyrics

Cover art for Diane, the Skyscraper lyrics by Jack's Mannequin

this song, like the other music on the Dear Jack EP, is about Andrew's battle with leukemia. he talks about his life in the hospital. the paperwork could be DNR papers? or just some sort of papers having to do with the hospital. it describes the uncertainty that he has, lying in the hospital bed. his "best girl" (is this Diane or Katie, his wife?) goes to meet the rest of the band, but he is too sickly and stays in the room to rest. the chorus is about his battle with death as well as the uncertainty that he constantly has. the whole song is so emotion-filled, it's really touching.
