Sky Sailing: A Little Opera Goes a Long Way Meaning
A Little Opera Goes a Long Way Lyrics
An echo from the hall
And I'll paint you
A dream escape on your bedroom wall
Pretend you're not alone
Like you are center-stage on Broadway
Cause when you're on your own
A little opera goes a long way
I'll meet...

This is just a guess, but someone on YouTube commented on this song saying "A little opera goes a long way" is a quote from Batman Begins (you can look it up and see the clip online). It comes when young Bruce Wayne leaves the opera with his parents because he's scared of the bats (which leads to his parents being murdered). When Bruce's mom asks whats wrong, his dad says this to cover for Bruce's fear.
SO...I think it's Adam Young's subtle way of saying "It's OK. I got you" to the recipient of this song. There are several phrases that show his desire to save/rescue this special someone, probably from loneliness and fear.
I think the overall meaning of this song is "I'll do whatever it takes to cheer you up". It's a version of a love song focused on helping/comforting the other person.
Whatever it means, it's a beautiful song musically.
