A summer day
In garlands I feel secure
A useless faith
That I will get you, somehow

Reach out, I wonder where you are now

Hey, there's you
With placid eyes
Oblivious to what's to come

They locked you up
So I forgot you
Forgot your name, so strange
I wonder if you got out

    Steve said in an interview that this was about a childhood friend who he lost contact with, and it was only years later he found out that this friend had been in and out of various mental situations and had generally ****ed up his own life.
