to me, it's about regret. things you wish you said, things you wish you did.
despite all the crap that's happened since, he remembers one summer fondly, even if no one else does. he want's to hold on to that summer forever.
i've had a summer like that. i always feel like i'm the only one who remembers what a good time we had. all the friends that shared it with me have forgotten.
you almost have it right IMO. layne formed this band soon after rehab and was very angry about the way his life was and how he felt he was sold out. that summer is about he and jerry cantrell making the music we all know and love. he remembers they were the same as he was. 'ohhhhhhh i remember', he's pissed. he felt abandoned and cheated by the way he felt he was exiled from the band over something they all used to do. thats all. great song though, i was there too. i know exactly how he feels and...

No, it's not about Jerry and him. If you read the liner notes of Above, the album this song came from, he mentions who was there that summer.
