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
