I Dare You Lyrics

[Verse 1: Oliver Sim]
I'm in love with it
Intoxicated
I'm in rapture
From the inside I can feel that you want to
Wake up high on it
Feel it suspending
I'm enamoured
Way up in the sky I can see that you want to

[Pre-Chorus: Romy Madley Croft]
I've been a romantic for so long
All I've ever heard are love songs

[Chorus: Oliver Sim & Romy Madley Croft]
Singing oh-oh-oh
Go on, I dare you
Oh-oh-oh
I dare you

[Verse 2: Romy Madley Croft & Oliver Sim]
I get chills
Heart's rate multiplies
I'm on a different kind of high
A rush of blood is not enough
I need my feelings set on fire
Now I'm deep in it, infatuated
Strong attraction
Side by side, and I know that you want to

[Pre-Chorus: Romy Madley Croft]
I've been a romantic for so long
All I've ever heard are love songs

[Chorus: Oliver Sim & Romy Madley Croft]
Singing oh-oh-oh
Go on, I dare you
Oh-oh-oh
I dare you

[Bridge: Romy Madley Croft & together]
I can hear it now like I heard it then
I can hear it now like I heard it then
I can hear it now like I heard it then
I can hear it now like I heard it then

[Chorus: Oliver Sim & Romy Madley Croft]
Singing oh-oh-oh
Go on, I dare you
Oh-oh-oh
I dare you
Oh-oh-oh
Go on, I dare you
Oh-oh-oh
I dare you

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.

I can't stop listening to this song. To me it sounds like even the greatest love songs make love seem like a risk.

@Spotintheclouds It's because it's true - love involves the most intimate of risks
