Switchfoot Album: Oh! Gravity Track: Faust, Midas, And Myself
Faust, Midas, And Myself Lyrics
This one's about a dream I had last night How an old man tracked me home And stepped inside Put his foot inside the door And gave a crooked smile Something in his eyes Something in his laugh Something in his voice That made my skin crawl off
Said I've seen you here before I know your name How you could have your pick Of pretty things You could have it all Everything at once Everything you've seen Everything you'll need Everything you've ever had in fantasies
You have one life You have one life
One life left to lead You have one life You have one life
One life left to lead
I woke up from my dream As a golden man The Girl I've never seen With Golden skin I jump up to my feet She asked me what was wrong I began to scream I don't think this is me Is this just a dream? Or really happening, happening
You have one life You have one life One life left to lead
You have one life You have one life One life left to lead
What direction What direction I'm spinning up I'm spinning up This is my personal disaffection
What direction What Direction What Direction now
I looked outside the glass At golden shores Golden ships and masts With golden cords As my reflection passed I hated what I saw The Golden eyes were dead A thought passed through my head A heart that is made of gold can't really beat at all
I wanted to wake up again I wanted to wake up again Without a touch of gold Without a touch of gold
What direction What direction What direction What direction Life begins at the intersection What direction What direction What direction What direction
I woke up as before But the gold was gone My wife was at the door With a night robe on My heart beat once or twice And life flooded my veins Everything had changed My lungs had found their voice And what was once routine Was now the perfect joy
You have one life You have one life One life left to lead
You have one life You have one life One life left to lead
