Sunshine feels like sugar down in Greenwich I used to lay out words like I meant it Back when I was seventeen And anyone meant everything I almost took all my love and spent it Now I play the game without the gamble I won the war although I've lost some battles Sweat on skin and wool on bone I give you time to be alone 'Cause I know I can be a lot to handle To handle I used to kiss like it was all that I could do I'd only chase the lover slipping out of view Back when I was seventeen I recall the weight of things I'd do it all again to get to you Now I play the game without the gamble I won the war although I've lost some battles Sweat on skin and wool on bone I give you time to be alone 'Cause I know I can be a lot to handle
