"Although DOVE is commonly used as a past-tense form of the word DIVE, it is still considered non-standard English by many. The more commonly accepted DIVED should be used in academic writing."

i think she chose "dived" over "dove" on purpose, since it sounds pretty much like " i DIE into you" which would support the theory of dying nature.
i love this part btw.

It annoys me that she says "dived" when you are supposed to say "dove." :(
Dived is older, and looks better when written down than "dove" (a type of bird?). "I dove in" is harder to sing as well, I think.

She is English and we don't use dove, it is only an American (maybe Canadian I couldn't say) thing to say dove instead of dived.
