| I believe this is a long song, but not nessecarily about a love he didn't take a chance on or he cannot recieve in return. I think it's about a love he had that went wrong and was ended, wether by him or by the girl. As far as the refrence to drugs, I agree with what someone else said. Drugs have such broad range of affects and features that anything could be attached to drug use. The "close to my skin" lyric is accented by the title, "this velvelt glove". "Sailin’ for the sun ’Cause There is one Knows where I’m from" I think is an attachment to a part of the chorus. "Your solar eyes are like nothing I have ever seen". The love interests eyes' are so bright they remind him of the sun, thus he sails toward it to find that feeling he once had. Sailing would be a metaphor to his departure, to which john says to live above hell, or to live life well outside of this scope of love. It may also be a refrence to the book of john, but that's if you want to stretch it i suppose. All in all, this is my favorite song by RHCP. | |

| it's about trying live how someone whom you loved would have wanted you to. and trying to give it all even when troubles keep seeming to knock you down and standing up because that friendship means everything. | |

| k, this is onna their best songs lemme say that first. but I think the song is about never being able to have the person you want. Loving someone so hard but them not loving you back. "I'd take a fall and you know that I'd do anything I will for you." "sitting alone in the sun I wrote a letter to you, gettin' over myself" He's hurting really bad. This girl took his breath away and he's not with her. Great song. | |

| "Sit alone in the sun I wrote a letter to you Getting over myself " in othewr words he thought to highly of himself, his ego may have been preventing a relationship that he had wanted to happen, but he didnt think she was god enough to be seen in public with ? or something to that effect, however his egotistical behavior is constant | |
