Lyrics-wise, I think it's about an old one-night stand. The guy saved him by getting through to him when he most needed it. Convinced him in a way to keep going on ('lowered my gun').
Guy looks him up again hoping to 'rekindle' it, but Jay (?don't even know if it's autobiographical haha) doesn't feel the same way anymore. It was a much needed and much appreciated helping hand when he was down but he just doesn't feel the same way anymore.
Possibly the guy has gained weight (the bubble gum reference) or something. But either way it's not just the same anymore. Song's kinda sad (for the guy) but honest (for Jay). It's really about how a single event (in this case, the one night stand) can hold different significance for different people.
