I Dare You
Regrettes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But now it looks like I'm getting too close to you
My mom tries to catch me
But I know all the backstreets
There's a look that you give me, a switch
In my fear to melt, and the words just slip
Don't know what I'm sayin'
But I know I'm not playin'
You're gonna fall, but I'll catch you
You're gonna fall, but I'll catch you
You're gonna fall, but I'll catch you
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Come on and jump, well, I dare you
Come on and jump, well, I dare you
Come on and jump, well, I dare you
(Come on and jump, well, I dare you!)
There're stains on your sweater
You think you know better
But you're a child, and it's kinda wild
That you're the one that brings the sun
I can't seem to sleep
And I feel my pulse beating
Don't wanna keep all my control
But you're the one that brings the sun
The dimple in your cheek and the wrinkle on your hand
And they're sayin' you're gonna be my man
And there's somethin' about you
I just love how they doubt you
I never wanted to hold a lie for you
I never wanted to make you cry
But you run me in circles
And I can't keep my eyes closed
Stains on your sweater
You think you know better
But you're a child, and it's kinda wild
That you're the one that brings the sun
Can't seem to sleep
And I feel my pulse beating
Don't wanna keep all my control
But you're the one that brings the sun
You're gonna fall, but I'll catch you
You're gonna fall, but I'll catch you
Come on and jump, well, I dare you
(Come on and jump, well, I dare you!)
There're stains on your sweater
You think you know better
But you're a child, and it's kinda wild
That you're the one that brings the sun
I can't seem to sleep
And I feel my pulse beating
I wanna keep all of my control
But you're the one that brings the sun
The lyrics of "I Dare You" by The Regrettes delve into a complex emotional landscape filled with conflicting feelings of vulnerability, attraction, and defiance. The singer expresses an initial reluctance to get too close to someone, but despite that, finds themselves drawn towards this person. This internal conflict is highlighted by the imagery of getting lost in the backstreets and feeling a switch in their emotions when they're around this individual. The uncertainty in their words reflects the confusion and lack of control they feel in this situation.
The chorus provides a sense of reassurance and daring, where the singer acknowledges that both they and the other person are bound to fall but promises to be there to catch them. The act of daring the other person to jump could be interpreted as a challenge to take a risk and be brave in the face of uncertainty and potential heartache. This juxtaposition of fear and courage adds depth to the theme of vulnerability in relationships.
The mention of stains on the sweater and the idea of knowing better suggest a sense of innocence and naivety, especially when juxtaposed with the idea of being the one to bring light and warmth into someone's life. The singer seems enamored by the flaws and imperfections of this person, finding beauty in their vulnerability. The internal struggle to maintain control over their emotions while simultaneously being drawn to the other person's light creates a poignant tension within the lyrics.
Ultimately, the repeated imagery of the sun symbolizes the warmth and brightness that the other person brings into the singer's life. Despite the chaos and unpredictability of their emotions, there is a sense of yearning and longing for this connection. The song captures the push and pull of emotions in a burgeoning relationship, where the singer grapples with their own fears and desires while being captivated by the magnetic pull of the other person. The lyrics of "I Dare You" encapsulate the exhilarating yet tumultuous journey of falling for someone and surrendering to the uncertainty of love.

I never wanted to get too close to you
Initially hesitant to be emotionally invested in you
But now it looks like I'm getting too close to you
Despite my reservations, I find myself developing strong feelings for you
There's a look that you give me, a switch
Your gaze has the power to change my emotions instantly
In my fear to melt, and the words just slip
Your effect on me makes me lose control over what I want to say
Come on and jump, well, I dare you
Challenging you to take a risk and leap into the unknown with me
There're stains on your sweater
Visible marks of imperfection, flaws that make you human
But you're a child, and it's kinda wild
Despite your youthfulness, you bring spontaneity and excitement
That you're the one that brings the sun
You bring brightness and warmth into my life
And they're sayin' you're gonna be my man
Hints that you could be the one I end up with
I can't seem to sleep
Your presence keeps me awake, unable to rest peacefully
But you're the one that brings the sun
Your positivity and energy counteract my restlessness
I never wanted to hold a lie for you
It was never my intention to deceive or hide the truth from you
But you run me in circles
You confuse and overwhelm me with your actions
There're stains on your sweater
Flaws and imperfections that make you human and relatable
But you're the one that brings the sun
Despite those imperfections, you light up my life
I wanna keep all of my control
Desire to maintain composure and not give in completely to emotions
But you're the one that brings the sun
Your positive influence makes it hard to resist losing control
