Opera

It's feeling colder by the water, the wind is made of stones I see your board of snakes and ladders All carved out in the snow And I'm feeling more and more nostalgic The deeper I look down, to the water To your face in the snow The trees are whistling that song you used to sing When we were young I'm in the fortress of the misty air It's thickening my lungs And I'm feeling nervous at the surface of the summit I'm remembering it all The air's feeling thin now, watch as I fall down See your face as I black out I can see the stars The harder that I'm blinking Constellations start appearing Floating in the dark I loved you, what a tragedy I hit the ground 'cause you said you'd meet me At the opera, ah-ah, oh-oh At the opera, ah-ah, oh-oh At the opera, ah-ah, oh-oh I feel the pressure when I'm breathing There's a stiffness to my stare But I saw your shadow come from stage-left But I guess it wasn't there Now I'm walking up the aisle, nearly running with my steps And I hate that I miss you, but I'm never falling again The air's feeling thin now, watch as I fall down See your face as I black out I can see the stars The harder that I'm blinking Constellations start appearing Floating in the dark I loved you, what a tragedy I hit the ground 'cause you said you'd meet me At the opera, ah-ah, oh-oh At the opera, ah-ah, oh-oh At the opera, ah-ah, oh-oh
