I Dare You
[Verse 1]
I never wanted to get too close to you
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
And my filter melts, and the words just slip
Don't know what I'm sayin', but I know I'm not playin'
[Refrain]
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)
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)
[Chorus]
There's stains on your sweater
You think you'd know better
But you're a child, and it's kinda wild
How 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
[Verse 2]
The dimple on your cheek and the wrinkle on your hand
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
[Chorus]
Stains on your sweater
You think you'd know better
But you're a child, and it's kinda wild
How you're the one that brings the sun
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
[Refrain]
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!)
[Chorus]
There's stains on your sweater
You think you'd know better
But you're a child, and it's kinda wild
How you're the one that brings the sun
I can't seem to sleep, and
I feel my pulse beating
And I wanna keep all of my control
But you're the one that brings the sun
