My new favorite song

Hey guys, it's Ruby Tuesday on the 1s and 2s. I have a song to share with you guys, but before I do I wanna tell you how I came across the song.

Prelude

You see this year my musical taste, along with my outlook on life, changed a lot. I started hanging out more with an old friend of mine from elementary school who started teaching me how to play the guitar. He gave me over 1,000 songs one day off his iTunes, including a few albums from the band Armor For Sleep, his fave band. Or at least i think its one of his fave bands, idk. So i would put my pod on shuffle and came across a song from them called "Phantoms Now." But WAIT! that's not the song im going to show you, even though that song is great too. So i really liked Phantoms Now and put some of the lyrics from it as my facebook status. My friend commented with approval, and I told him that was my fave song from them. He told me his fave song from Armor For Sleep was "Dream to Make Believe." So i gave it a listen and i liked that one too, but not as much as Phantoms Now. This happened a while ago. But yesterday I heard it again, and I really listened to the lyrics. I was completely blown away by the song this time around. The lyrics are simple, yet so powerful and beautiful, and the overall sound of the song is just great. I can't stop listening to it now. Here's the music video:



And here's the lyrics:

It's funny how things work out,
The ones we need don't know we're there,
If I were sand and you were oceans,
the moon would be why your pulled to me.

I wake up and think dreams are real,
I sleep so I don't have to feel,
the truth that you can never be
the one person that won't ever forget me.

I hope that dreams come when I die,
So we can talk I won't wake up,
I'll ask how your life worked out,
I'll never know that I'm just dreaming.

I wake up and think dreams are real,
I sleep so I don't have to feel,
The truth that you can never be,
The one person that won't ever forget me,

Let me sleep some more. (12x)

Like i said, this song just blows me away. It came out back in 2003 i just realized, so I'm kinda late, but its still great nonetheless. Just thought i would share it with you guys who haven't heard it. Well I'm done with this post, I'll write something else later. Deuces.
