Concur with the last comment. This is their best song. 15 years old and still fantastic. There is an acoustic version kicking around, which is quite good, too.
This song is one of those rare songs that truly taps into your soul and almost makes it seem like it's your own emotions that are unfolding as the song goes on. I can't pretend to say that I fully understand what the lyrics mean but I have to agree with the comments made above regarding the cryptic coding and almost dream-like imagery the song lets on. It feels like someone trying to remember things way in the past perhaps when they were very young and innocent, and them welcoming somebody else (an old friend perhaps) back into that world...

The drug implications may or may not be there, it's tough to say but that mystery is usually what makes songs great. Either way I love this song and was way too young to understand the depth of this band when it came out ;)
