lyrics

Should I buy a ticket for the show?
Not sure if I will even go
The ingenue looks just like you
but she does things you'd never do

it's an opera for the soul
it's the act of letting go
it's a dream upon a stage
and you don't have to show your age

Should I even bother with this show?
not sure if you will even go
The ingenue looks just like you
but she did things you'd never do

And the crowd all gathers round
listen to that joyous sound
and the curtains about to fall
at least you know you gave your all
A seat is saved for you

Should I buy a ticket for the show?
Not sure if I will even go
The ingenue looks just like you
but she does things you'd never do

it's an opera for the soul
it's the act of letting go
it's a dream upon a stage
and you don't have to show your age

A seat is saved for me.
