Sugar Lyrics

You've got all the sugar you'll ever need
You're gonna give some of your sugar to me
You've got all your demons held at bay
You're gonna drive some of my demons away

Sweet, sweet sugar to me
Please let me know when your kisses are free
Red, red light in the wine
Please let me know when you're gonna be mine

You've got all your glory to find someday
Set down with me and let the time pass away
When you're gone tomorrow very far
You can remember me here where we are

Sweet, sweet sugar to me
Please let me know when your kisses are free
Red, red light in the wine
Please let me know when you're gonna be mine

You've got all the sugar you'll ever need
You're gonna give some of your sugar to me
You've got all your demons held at bay
You're gonna drive some my demons away

Sweet, sweet sugar to me
Please let me know when your kisses are free

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

“Sugar” by Dan Wilson is a song about longing, nostalgia, and the bittersweet nature of love and memory. The lyrics reflect on a past relationship or moment in time that was sweet and comforting, but now exists only as a memory. The “sugar” in the song serves as a metaphor for something or someone that once brought joy and warmth but is now out of reach. Wilson’s songwriting often blends melancholy with hope, so while the song expresses a sense of loss, it also carries a feeling of appreciation for what was.

Just looking over the lyrics and listening to the song once, it seems like this is about a guy asking a girl to forget about the future and just be with him for now. She can leave him one day to fulfill the life she has ahead, but he wants to be with her for now, and he just wants her to remember him as the guy he was when they were together.
