Dear Jack, I write you as a friend Dear friend, I write for I fear the end is coming soon To you it’s not so clear It’s clear to me, it’s clear as glass Dear Jack, dear Jack

Dear hope, attach it to the end of your rope A rope that wove ambition in with sorrow Distancing tomorrow, tomorrow’s come and past Dear Jack, dear Jack

Oh, you were the fighter I was the kid against the world I heard, there’s nothing gonna hold you down I’ll use a lighter so you can see what isn’t there We’ll swing at air Swinging off eventually you’re bound Bound to the ground

Dear Jack ll Jack's Mannequin

Dear Jack, Wherever you are, hold tight

(via Wikipedia)

He formed the band under the name Jack's Mannequin, which came to be after McMahon had considered the name The Mannequins. However, after growing "bored of the 'the' band names," he decided to "sandwich" it together with the title of a song he had completed for the record, "Dear Jack". Originally, there was said to be "not much significance behind the name," but upon McMahon's diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, "the band name became ironic--considering the Jack I wrote the song for & ultimately named the project after, had suffered from childhood leukemia."

If you've never heard a single Jack's Mannequin song, listen to this one.
