I love this song - served me well during many steamy sessions in my car in high school. Anyway, there really isn't anything sweet about this song. It is rather sad.
Sure, the song has a maudlin element to it - but it is ultimately sad. It is about the lack of meaning in ones first sexual encounter. The lyric, "though it's not love it means something" is insincere. The narrator doesn't really believe it means "something".
Instead the narrator states, "it's easy to slip away and believe it all". The narrator is speaking to themself - trying to convince themself that the encounter meant "something". In reality it meant nothing.

Sad, empty song. Not sweet. Yet brilliant DM.
