About You

"Dare You to Move" is a single by the alternative rock band Switchfoot from the band's fourth studio album, The Beautiful Letdown. The song was originally called "I Dare You to Move", and was on the album Learning to Breathe, but the band decided to remix it and put it on The Beautiful Letdown. The song received considerable radio airplay, and its accompanying music videos saw play on MTV, VH1, FUSE TV, and other mainstream channels. "Dare You to Move" was released to radio on March 2, 2004. It peaked at number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Switchfoot's second top 20 single, surpassing the success of their breakthrough single, "Meant to Live" although the latter was more successful internationally. The song, which appears as the first track on Learning to Breathe and the fifth track on The Beautiful Letdown, was a long-lasting hit and was eventually certified gold in April 2005. The song received positive reviews from critics, and was ranked number 73 on Rhapsody's list of the Top 100 Tracks of the Decade. "Dare You to Move" was co-produced by Charlie Peacock—who discovered Switchfoot and signed the band to its first record deal—and John Fields.

There's always something in the way 
There's always something getting through 
But its not me 
Its you 
Its you 

Sometimes ignorance rings true 
But hope is not in what I know 
Its not in me 
Its in you 
Its in you 

[Chorus] 
Its all I know 
Its all I know 
Its all I know 

I find peace when I'm confused 
And I find hope when I'm let down 
Not in me, me 
In you 
Its in you 

I hope to lose myself for good 
I hope to find it in the end 
But not in me, me 
In you 
In you 

[Chorus] 

In you 
In you 
Its in you 
In you 

There's always something in the way 
There's always something getting through 
But its not me, me 
Its you 
Its you 
Its you 
Its you 
Its you (Its all I know) 
Its you 
Its you (Its all I know) 
Its you 
Its you (Its all I know) 
Its you 
Its you
