Lyrics: Verse 1: I’m wearing quiet like a worn-out coat But you show up laughing, and it’s hard to choke The room gets warmer when your voice comes near Like sunlight finding me through a winter tear Pre-Chorus: So let my loneliness learn how to sing If laughter’s a language, you’re my only thing Chorus: Lonesome laughter, don’t leave me now Stay in the doorway, let the night come down Silver sneakers at the edge of hope Taking one more chance, letting go of the rope Lonesome laughter, turn my heart around Make a bittersweet road feel like home Verse 2: We dance in kitchen light, your hand in mine Even broken hearts can shine in time The radio lies, says love’s always easy But you know the truth—love takes work, still breezy Pre-Chorus: When I start to drift, you pull me back Like a string-tied memory that won’t snap Chorus: Lonesome laughter, don’t leave me now Stay in the doorway, let the night come down Silver sneakers at the edge of hope Taking one more chance, letting go of the rope Lonesome laughter, turn my heart around Make a bittersweet road feel like home Verse 3: Maybe we’ll fight, maybe we’ll sway But we’ll never stop choosing the right way If fear comes knocking, we’ll answer with song ’Cause love’s a folk tune that can’t go wrong Bridge: Oh, I been chasing silence like a ghost train But you made me brave—gave my worries a name Silver shine on the floorboards, hear it sing That lonesome laughter finally feels like wing Final Chorus: Lonesome laughter, don’t leave me now Stay in the doorway, let the night come down Silver sneakers at the edge of hope Taking one more chance, letting go of the rope Lonesome laughter, turn my heart around Make a bittersweet road feel like home
