i agree with 'malachiconstant' also for the most part...it's definately not about frats. or vietnam...
it is about someone he loved, i'm guessing a girl. possibly a girlfriend or a best friend..altho i do differ with the whole death thing. he just said she was never quite right again. that doesnt mean she died, she could just be turned into a vegetable now so he can't do all the things he used to do with her. and he now misses all the small things - like running through the grass, just chasing each other around and giggling. - being carefree. i think he lost the person some how because of the "Oh the letters have dropped off
Though they say you got them all
I finally figured out some things you'll never know.
Take back your life and let me inside
We'll find the door if you care to anymore." i think she's still alive...maybe she's shut him out because of all that and she's distanced herself from everyone and everything...or she lost the battle and even after all that she still struggles with a drug addiction...
Have to agree with NothingIs...read the line "oh the letters have dropped off, though they say you got them all.." the person is either in jail or a mental health ward. He is asking the friend that he will be there for them if they ever care to repair the relationship. More so, I have always been here for you, please do not group me in with the ppl who have label you as an addict.

People keep using the lines "oh the letters have dropped off, though they say you got them all" to prove it's not about fraternities... to me, those are two of the main lines that clarify that the song is indeed in some way about fraternites.

To those who don't know, fraternities names are letters from the Greek alphabet (example: Sigma Chi are the Greek letters Sigma and Chi). When you go from pledge to active, your pledge letters drop off when you hand in your pledge pin and are pinned as an active member.

I won't ramble on...
I won't ramble on about this because I really don't enough about it to do so. Look, I have no horse in this race and have no problem if people want to say that it's not about fraternities because Kevin Griffin said that was the case.
All I will say, is that to anyone who has ever pledged a fraternity that hazed, and watched pledge brothers quit because they got hazed worse than the rest of these group... a lot of these lines are relateable. That's all.
I remember running through the wet grass
Falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring

The one thing that everyone seems to miss is that this is about person (probably while growing up) that the singer once looked up to. Likely someone who was a little older and maybe a little bigger.

The lines of the song in this case are literal. The singer is using a cherished childhood memory of the person to define their relationship growing up. They were running through wet grass never tiring because kids seem to have limitless energy.
