Switchfoot - 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
He said, "I've seen you here before
I know your name yeah, 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've one life, you've one life
You've one life left to leave
You've one life, you've one life
You've one life left to leave

I woke up from my dream as a golden man
With a girl I've never seen with golden skin
I jumped up to my feet
And she asked me what was wrong
And I began to scream
"I don't think this is me
Is this just a dream or really happening?"

You've one life, you've one life
You've one life left to leave
You've one life, you've one life
You've one life left to leave

What direction, what direction?
What direction, what direction?
I'm splitting up, I'm splitting 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
My golden eyes were dead
And a thought passed through my head
A heart that's 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, what direction
What direction? Death or action
Life begins at the intersection
What direction, what direction?
What direction now?

I woke up as before, but the gold was gone
My wife was at the door
With her 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've one life, you've one life
You've one life left to lead
You've one life, you've one life
You've one life left to lead
